Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman officially endorsed Donald Trump on Saturday night, following an attempted assassination at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. Ackman, who has been openly critical of President Biden, clarified that his endorsement was the result of careful consideration rather than a reaction to the recent attack.
In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Ackman stated that his decision to support Trump had been made well before the shooting incident, which left one person dead and two others critically injured. He emphasized that he believed the upcoming presidential election to be highly significant and expressed confidence in his decision to back Trump.
Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, mentioned that he plans to provide a detailed explanation for his endorsement in a future long-form post. He also criticized the mainstream media for what he views as biased reporting on Trump.
The endorsement post garnered significant attention, with over 19 million views. Ackman’s announcement follows a similar public show of support from Elon Musk.
