Oil and gas industries snub Biden tenure's record production and profits, giving Trump millions for 2024 election
Read Original Source
Donald Trump is the oil and gas industry’s undisputed top pick for the Republican presidential nomination as energy sector donors shower his candidacy with nearly 10 times the amount of money as they gave his challenger Nikki Haley. And forget about President Joe Biden. Despite record oil production and profits during his White House tenure, industry donors have given very little — just $635,000 — to his reelection bid compared with the $7.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Oil and gas donors are backing Donald Trump far more than Joe Biden in the 2024 race, even after record US oil output and industry profits under Biden.
Key Points:
- Energy industry donors have given Trump about $7.37 million, compared with just $635,000 for Biden’s reelection bid.
- Tim Dunn and other oil and gas donors gave large checks to Trump and his super PAC as Trump became the likely GOP nominee.
- Some energy donors first backed other Republican candidates, including Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, before shifting to Trump.
- Biden’s climate and clean energy policies have discouraged oil and gas donors, while Trump has promised to expand drilling and roll back rules.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Big oil donors backing Trump and Tim Dunn could push for weaker climate and pollution rules, which may raise health and environmental risks for communities and households.
Positive Impact
Trump may favor drilling and fossil-fuel jobs, which could help some workers and energy towns if production rises.
