Top GOP donors returning to back Trump: ‘I’m focused on victory’

Major Republican Donors Circling Back to Supporting Trump: ‘I Want to Win’

A number of Republican Party mega-donors are coalescing ⁤around‍ the candidacy of former President Donald Trump after having spent a year or longer seeking an alternative to him, according to a report.

Trump kicked off his​ campaign just days after the November 2022 midterm elections.

A plethora of challengers quickly entered the race, but some of them have since dropped out.

Meanwhile, candidates such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike ⁢Pence and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley are digging in.

The 2024 primary will officially kick off in Iowa in January, a date these candidates hope will give them momentum heading into February ⁤and March.

But in the Real Real Politics ​average ‍of the primary, Trump’s lead is big. He currently⁢ holds the support of 59.1⁢ percent of likely voters in the average.

The only other candidate who was in double digits as of Friday was​ DeSantis, with 12.6 percent support.

With less‌ than three months until voters begin casting ballots, some big donors told ⁢NBC News that they now feel that Trump will ultimately​ become the nominee.

Megadonor ‍Ed Broyhill, who was Trump’s finance chair in 2020 in ‌North Carolina, told the network he was seeking an alternative to Trump, but he now believes the only ⁤hope to defeat President Joe ⁤Biden next November⁢ is supporting the former ⁢president.

“There is no doubt in my mind that Donald Trump will be the nominee⁣ of our party,” Broyhill told NBC News. “The ‌grassroots are a ⁣solid foundation for ‌Donald Trump.”

Broyhill said he considered supporting DeSantis and Pence, but is back in Trump’s camp.

“I have met with all the candidates,” Broyhill said. “None are close to the level of support Trump has.”

Broyhill supported Trump’s‌ 2016 and 2020 bids.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma oil and gas billionaire Harold Hamm has closed his checkbook to other candidates and is now again putting his money on Trump, after what NBC called a prior ⁣“falling out” between⁣ him and Trump.

One of Hamm’s deputies, his communications officer Kristin Thomas, told NBC News‌ that Hamm’s revived support for Trump is something ⁤that‌ should not⁣ be ⁢overthought.

“He has supported a wide slate of candidates that⁤ he believes would make a good president,” she said.

But‌ numerous other wealthy donors have been sending checks to Trump. One of them, who was not named by NBC News, told ‌the network he ‌had seen the writing on the wall as‍ he explained his recent donations to Trump.

“Why? It ⁢is ‍easy, I want to win,” the person said.

The‌ donor ⁤had given money to DeSantis and ‍Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina.

The donor said he has been watching the polls and concluded of voters, “They are moving back to President Trump, and I want to win.”

As ⁣the 2024 presidential race looms on the horizon, major Republican Party donors are circling ‌back to ⁢support former President Donald Trump, despite previously seeking⁢ alternatives, according to a recent ‍report. These donors have come to the conclusion that Trump‍ is the strongest ‌candidate to defeat‌ President Joe ‌Biden in ⁤the upcoming election.

Many ​challengers entered the race ⁤soon after Trump‍ kicked ‌off his campaign just days ⁤after the November 2022⁢ midterm elections.⁤ However, several candidates have dropped out, leaving contenders such as⁢ Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, ⁣and former South Carolina ⁣Governor ⁤Nikki Haley still in the running. With the primary set to‌ begin‍ in Iowa in January, these candidates hope to‌ gain momentum in the crucial months of February and ⁢March.

Despite their efforts, the‍ Real Real Politics average‍ indicates that Trump is leading the pack by a significant margin. ⁤Currently, he enjoys the support of ⁢59.1 percent of likely voters,​ with DeSantis coming in⁢ a distant second at 12.6 percent.

With⁢ less than three months remaining until ‌voters cast their ballots, several prominent donors have expressed their belief that⁣ Trump will ultimately become the party’s nominee. Ed⁢ Broyhill, ⁤a megadonor who served as ⁣Trump’s finance chair in North Carolina ⁤in⁣ 2020,⁤ initially sought an alternative⁣ to Trump. However, he ​has now thrown his support behind the former ⁣president. Broyhill believes that the grassroots support for Trump makes him the strongest candidate to defeat Biden in the general election.

Similarly, ⁤Harold Hamm,⁢ an Oklahoma⁣ oil and⁣ gas ⁣billionaire, has also rekindled his support for Trump after a previous⁢ falling out ⁣between the two. Hamm’s communications officer, Kristin Thomas,⁤ emphasized that Hamm’s renewed support should not be overthought, as he has always contributed to ⁣a​ wide array of candidates whom he believes would make good presidents.

Other wealthy donors have also redirected their contributions towards Trump. ⁢One​ donor, ⁤who chose to remain​ anonymous, explained‍ that⁤ he had witnessed‌ the shifting voter sentiment towards Trump through‌ the polls. Seeing this, he wants to align himself with the candidate who ‌he believes has the best chance of ‌winning.

As⁣ the competition heats up among Republican candidates ⁢vying for the 2024 presidential nomination, it is clear that Trump‌ still holds⁤ significant sway among the⁢ party’s major donors.⁣ These donors have reconsidered their previous reservations and‌ are now firmly backing Trump,​ recognizing him as the strongest contender to secure victory in the upcoming election.

Support like this will undoubtedly provide a boost to Trump’s campaign, helping him harness the ​financial resources necessary to mount a successful bid for the presidency. With ‌the race set to intensify in the coming months, the support of major Republican donors will play a ‍crucial role in shaping the political landscape and determining⁤ the party’s ultimate nominee.
