America’s billionaire investors are lining up behind their favorite candidates for 2024. Here’s who’s giving to Haley, Trump and RFK Jr.
Read Original Source
The US presidential field has narrowed considerably, but the fundraising amounts are growing as major donors — including Paul Singer, Timothy Mellon, and Ken Griffin — pour millions into the 2024 election. Wealthy contributors are stepping off the sidelines as former President Donald Trump is poised to win the Republican nomination, while his sole remaining challenger Nikki Haley — and her deep bench of Wall Street support — raised nearly as much money as the former president in the fourth quarter.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Paul Singer, Timothy Mellon, and Ken Griffin are among the billionaire donors helping shape the 2024 race, with major money flowing to Nikki Haley, Donald Trump, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Key Points:
- Singer gave $5 million to Haley’s allied super PAC, while Griffin and Mellon also gave $5 million and $10 million, respectively, to her and Trump-linked groups.

- Trump drew big checks from wealthy backers as his campaign and allied PACs also used money to cover legal costs.
- The article says major donors are backing candidates and outside groups across the race, including House and Senate Republican support groups.
