Trump is seen by the financial establishment as a more effective leader in foreign and domestic policy in the United States

On May 14, 2024, billionaire investor Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel LLC, said he was waiting for Trump to choose his running mate in the presidential election before financially supporting his campaign.

Griffin’s position resonates with the businessman’s previous criticisms of Trump. The statement that the investor is “seriously considering” supporting the ex-president’s candidacy demonstrates a new trend of support for Trump by leading financial donors to American election campaigns.

American businessmen’s support for Donald Trump and the lack of understanding between Democrats and Wall Street donors are creating a trend that will further change the picture of spending on the presidential campaigns of both candidates.
