Stephen Schwarzman — chairman, CEO and co-founder of Blackstone, the private equity and real estate giant — will support Donald Trump as a “vote for change,” Axios reports.
New York Times: “Mr. Schwarzman, a lifelong Republican and megadonor to the party, had stuck by Mr. Trump after his defeat in 2020 and the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, but turned away from him after many of the candidates Mr. Trump had handpicked lost their midterm races in 2022.”
“Days after the party’s disappointing performance then, Mr. Schwarzman vowed to support a new candidate in the Republican presidential primaries.”
