‘He could beat Donald Trump’: GOP donor pushes for big-name Republican to enter 2024 race – By Harold Hutchison (Daily Caller) / Aug 9, 2023
‘He is an incredible person’
A Republican donor called for Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia to enter the presidential race Tuesday morning, saying that he could beat former President Donald Trump in the primary.
“He could beat Donald Trump and he could beat anybody,” Thomas Peterffy told “Fox and Friends” co-host Steve Doocy after he donated $1 million to Youngkin’s PAC. “He is an incredible person, his experience as CEO of one of the largest equity groups and his nearly three years as governor of Virginia demonstrate his exceptional capabilities in running as a leader of a large organization. You know, there is nobody else like that. He’s a really good person.”
Trump currently leads Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida for the Republican nomination in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls taken from July 12 to August 3, 53.7% to 15.7%, with businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in third place with 6%. DeSantis has struggled to close the gap with Trump, firing campaign manager Generra Peck Tuesday and replacing her with longtime aide James Uthmeier.
