Michael Granoff, managing partner of venture fund Maniv who worked as a staffer for the 1990s campaign of Bill Clinton, voted for Biden in 2020 but now says he lost confidence in the President and is considering a vote for Trump.
'I am not voting for Biden. I'm not saying I'm voting for Trump, but it's a nonzero chance now,' he told The Free Press.
Republican donor Cliff Asness says he 'spent well over seven figures' to support Trump's primary opponent Nikki Haley, but claims his commitment to making sure another Holocaust doesn't happen is edging out his thoughts that he would never donate to Trump.
'My 'Never Again' is trumping my 'Never Trump' these days,' Asness told Free Press.
Granoff believes that Biden's current stance betrays commitments he made to the world's only Jewish state after Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on October 7, 2023 and engaged in the largest single-day massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust.
'The speech he gave on October 11 was one of the finest speeches a president has ever made,' Granoff said. 'Had he stuck to that policy, he would be leading in the race right now. I would be raising money for him.'
'Biden is a huge disappointment, really a moral outrage with this arms embargo being only the latest and greatest outrage,' the co-founder of AQR Capital Management continued. 'Despite my long opposition to him, this makes me more likely, though I haven't quite gotten there yet, to see Trump as the better of two bad alternatives.'
Registered Democrat hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman also responded after CNN aired Biden's comments, writing on X his decision to stop arms shipments is 'one of the worst acts against an ally of a sitting president ever.'
'Hopefully, this means he won't be sitting for longer,' he added.
Haim Saban, a billionaire entertainment mogul and Democratic donor, wrote an email to two senior White House advisers last week speaking out against Biden's policy switch up on Israel.
'Let's not forget that there are more Jewish voters who care about Israel than Muslim voters that care about Hamas,' he wrote.
