Top DeSantis donor says he's ready to put his fortune behind 2024 bid
in the polls. And perhaps most threatening to his presidential ambitions—some of his donors are pulling out.
Bigelow made his fortune founding the Budget Suites of America hotel chain, and has drawn attention in recent years for large investments in research into UFOs and whether human beings possess souls that can survive the deaths of their bodies.The billionaire hedge fund manager and Citadel founder Ken Griffin is also planning to financially support the Florida governor, SemaforTuesday.
Though he doesn’t agree with DeSantis on everything. “I do disagree with the governor on the abortion issue,” he says, adding that he supports legal access to abortion through the first trimester of a pregnancy. But Bigelow went on to say that DeSantis’s restrictive abortion policies were not a dealbreaker.A one-time Trump enthusiast, Bigelow says he could no longer stand behind the former president after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. “Trump lost his north,” he says.
Bigelow believes Trump’s legal woes would hurt him in a general election with moderate and independent voters. “We don’t expect Jesus Christ to be on the ballot,” he says. “But we also don’t expect somebody who is plagued by all kinds of criminal charges and civil charges against him all the time that he is going to be running for election. That just isn’t smart.”
