Politico reports that “some wealthy donors who’d hoped could beat Donald Trump are now giving Tim Scott a serious look.” One of those donors is reportedly Ronald Lauder, the Estée Lauder heir who backed Trump in 2020 and-according to three sources familiar with the matter who spoke to Politico-recently flew down to South Carolina to meet with Scott. And the Murdochs apparently aren’t the only rich guys experiencing buyer’s remorse. On Wednesday, Rolling Stone published a scathing article reporting that Rupert Murdoch has started to sour on the Florida governor, with one source telling the outlet that the Australian billionaire and his son Lachlan “can smell a loser a mile away.” Notably, this comes after Murdoch’s media empire fanned out following the November midterms to send the message that Trump was GOP roadkill and DeSantis was the new king of the party. It’s an uphill battle.” And it’s not just would-be voters who’ve soured on the candidate-it’s rich billionaires too. Referring to DeSantis’s extremely bad national polling numbers, a spokesman for a DeSantis-aligned super PAC said earlier this month, “I believe in being really blunt and really honest.

Just a few short months ago, Ron DeSantis was being hailed as the future of the Republican Party and the man who would represent the GOP in next year’s presidential general election after knocking off Donald Trump.
