Some major conservative campaign donors won't be backing former President Donald Trump as he heads into the 2024 presidential election cycle.
The influential anti-tax Club for Growth is shunning Mr. Trump when it hosts a half-dozen potential Republican candidates at its donor summit in Florida next month. And the deep-pocketed Americans for Prosperity, founded by the billionaire industrialist Koch brothers, also made clear that the group will throw its support behind a candidate other than Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump responded to the Club for Growth’s snub by saying it was no secret that he and the group had parted ways. Mr. Trump is expected to return soon to Facebook, but it’s not clear whether the platform will be as lucrative in small-dollar donations for Mr. Trump as it was in his earlier campaigns. Mr. Trump’s political operation raised about $21.3 million in the final quarter of 2022. By comparison, his principal fundraising committee pulled in about $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Trump ally Jason Miller tweeted with sarcasm that such ostracization of Mr. Trump “worked so well for the globalist insiders in 2016.”
