GOP Billionaire Backing DeSantis for 2024: 'Time to Move On' from Trump - MyNewsBuffet.com

A top Republican donor is done with former President Donald Trump and more excited about a path to the Oval Office for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2024.

Ken Griffin, a billionaire hedge fund CEO who flooded Republican campaigns with nearly $60 million over the recent midterm election, told POLITICO he would back DeSantis if the governor makes a run for the presidency in 2024.

“He has a tremendous record as governor of Florida, and our country would be well-served by him as president,” he said.

Griffin said the former president’s time on the political scene should be over.

“He did a lot of things really well and missed the mark on some important areas,” he said. “And for a litany of reasons, I think it’s time to move on to the next generation.”

Griffin is already putting his money where his mouth is, spending $5 million to become the top contributor to DeSantis’ reelection campaign, which the governor won handily.
