A top GOP donor who previously backed Donald Trump has announced that he will be supporting Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Election.
Hal Lambert, founder and CEO of Texas-based Point Bridge Capital, said he wants to "do a lot to help DeSantis win" amid strong speculation the Florida governor will confirm his presidential campaign in the coming days.
Lambert, who set up an exchange-traded fund named after the former president's Make America Great Again 2016 campaign slogan, MAGA ETF, and previously served on Trump's inaugural committee in 2016, told the New York Post that he decided to back DeSantis after meeting with him and wife in Florida three weeks ago.
Lambert said he was also put off by Trump's recent CNN town hall, where the former president continued to falsely claim the 2020 Election was "rigged."
"What voters who didn't vote for Trump in 2020 are going to vote for him this time based on his performance? I don't think anyone will," Lambert told The Post. "We can't talk about things from four years ago that can't be changed.
"Trump is going to have a difficult time winning the general election. The election won't be about Joe Biden's bad record. It will be a referendum on Trump instead."
It is reported that DeSantis will file paperwork declaring his presidential candidacy on May 25 to coincide with a donor meeting in Miami, before a formal announcement a few days later.

Please cut with the MSM sources. The Zeepers also use leftist sources for everything. They have an agenda.
Trump didn't bring it up. CNN harangued Trump about it at the town hall. Lambert is showing his ass.
Really. It should be all we talk about, because it will be the downfall of this nation.
I think DeSantis is a fine Governor, but time after time, I see people like this who back him, and it reinforces my opionion that DeSantis is more of Romney, McCain, Bush, Ryan, Christie, McConnell, and Graham, which means deep state.
Ok, this never happened....
“We can’t talk about things from four years ago that can’t be changed.”
So what, they stole the election and destroy the nation. No biggie, that’s in the past now. Why are so many billionaires idiots?
Yes, CNN kept bringing it up and Trump kept falling for it.
Trump is the ass.
So, Lambert was great when he backed Trump? You are such a hypocrite.
The ebbs and flows of the Uniparty monied interests. Once the Uniparty big wigs realize the Uniparty and Soros kangaroo courts won’t be able to accomplish the Uniparty dirty work for them, many of these slime balls will reconsider. It might only be $50 or $100 bucks a pop but America First and those wishing to Make America Livable Again support never flinches.
“The election won’t be about Joe Biden’s bad record. It will be a referendum on Trump instead.”
Then Trum wins hands down.
It is bizarre how, when Trump mentions the biggest crime of the country’s history, the stolen election, the coup, DeSantis’s supporters try to make out that it is rude and crude and should not be mentioned. It is as if that is all they have as an excuse to back DeSantis.
Liberals and the MSM ransack the distant past highlighting the country’s supposed sins and proclaim them daily. Trump mentions the democrat crimes of a few months ago, and the extreme possibility they will happen next year, and he is, as it were, refusing to “move on.”
I will make a prediction. When DeSantis starts on the campaign trail, he will not gather much of a crowd. He did not in Iowa. I cannot predict how his supporters will rationalize that.
Trump is the ass.
And you keep falling for RINO/Newsweak talking points. That makes you the ass.
THIS proves that DeSantis is for sale....and Trump is not.
For eighty million Trump supporters, its not rocket science who to vote for, no matter how much money shifts to DeSantis.
THese billionaires think anyone can be bought. Its their weakness. And its why they hate Trump....he cannot be bought. The influence peddlars become disempowered with Trump.
Trump has grass root support, and he can raise as much money from his base as he needs. NOt so with DeSantis , who must sell himself to these overlords to raise money.
Why are so many FReepers so stupid? Have you been able to prove the election was stolen in a court of law? Nobody cares about your wild theories that the courts are in on the fraud, etc, etc, etc.
Biden and the commies are destroying this nation. The people are suffering and want someone to change it, not someone still talking about what happened 4 years ago that they could not prove.
Please learn something about politics.
100%

Of course the 2020 election was stolen......just take a look at what the stealers have done for the country. No way AMerica voted for that.
Yep
Hypocrite, you say? Were you a Jeb! man or Cruz guy at the 2016 convention? I’ll wager if we go back and check your postings we will find that you have even flirted with America First or Make America Great Again before you came to your senses.
Waste of your money
“Yes, CNN kept bringing it up and Trump kept falling for it.”
Falling for it????
No, it was Trump taking advantage of the question and informing the electorate, in the lion’s den.
It is obvious why you posted this article, and then squealing like a banshee when someone disagrees with it. Your TDS must be overwhelming.
