Republican billionaires rally around Trump for April fundraiser as election – and scramble for cash – heats up
Hedge fund founder #John#Paulson is hosting a high-dollar fundraiser next month to benefit Donald Trump’s presidential campaign that is drawing some of the Republican Party’s wealthiest donors, according to an invitation obtained by CNN
An anti-Trump group backed by billionaires Reid Hoffman, Seth Klarman and John Pritzker is launching a $50 million ad campaign featuring disaffected Trump voters—while some conservative billionaires coalesce behind the former president as it’s become clear he’ll secure the GOP nomination.
🔸Republican Voters Against Trump🔸, which is funded by the 🔹Republican Accountability PAC, 🔹aims to raise $30 million, in addition to the $20 million it’s already raised, for an advertising campaign featuring 👉videos of former Trump voters explaining why they won’t cast their ballots for him again this year, its founder #Sarah#Longwell told the New York Times.
#Reid#Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and a prolific Democratic donor, is one of the Republican Accountability PAC’s biggest backers, donating $2 million in both January and June last year, according to Federal Election Commission filings that show his $4 million accounts for half of what the group raised last year.
#Seth#Klarman, who runs the Boston-based Baupost hedge fund and is a vocal Trump critic who has donated to both parties, gave $1 million to the group in May last year.
#John#Pritzker, of the billionaire family that founded Hyatt hotels, gave a total of $1 million to the group through two $500,000 donations in June and November last year.
Founded during the 2020 campaign, Republican Voters Against Trump is ramping up its anti-Trump efforts as the former president is now the de facto Republican nominee.
♦️Meanwhile, conservative billionaires are lining up behind Trump ♦️, including shipping and packing company founders #Liz and #Dick#Uihlein, the Financial Times reported this weekend,
and aerospace billionaire #Robert#Bigelow, according to Politico—all previous donors to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ failed presidential campaign.
Countries have already suffered deep losses as a result of the #fires, #floods, and other disasters intensifying with #ClimateChange. They want the biggest, heaviest-polluting nations to do something about it. And they’ll be making their case at a conference presided over by an oil baron. #ClimateCrisis
#John Kerry, the US’s climate envoy, defended the statement. “We are not making the argument to anybody that this is absolutely going to be a sweeping alternative to every other energy source,” he said. #COP28#NuclearPower#ClimateCrisis#GlobalWarming
I was having this debate a week ago when dealing with those strange proper noun cases like departments in an organization. They’re sorta proper nouns, but then when generalized it goes back lowercase. Security Department vs security escorted them out of the building.
Having cursive, lower, and upper cases is really dumb though.
We could just add a new letter to denote a proper noun? Kick it up to modern relevancy with the @ or #? Lol.
