Billionaire GOP Donor Says the ‘Ideal Candidate’ for 2024 Isn’t in Race Yet

A Republican Party mega-donor and one of the world’s wealthiest men says the “ideal candidate” has not yet entered the 2024 presidential race.

Hungarian-born billionaire Thomas Peterffy told Fox Business on Tuesday that his man is Republican Virginia Gov. 👤Glenn Youngkin.

In an interview with network host Neil Cavuto, Peterffy said Youngkin is an attractive potential candidate because he offers the GOP a chance to reach voters in the middle.

“I would like to vote for a person who, in my view, is most likely to be able to win the general election,” he told Cavuto. “And accordingly, we have to pick somebody in the primaries that we believe is most likely to win the general.”

No one in the current field fits that description, Peterffy said.

The billionaire told Cavuto the right candidate “is going to be a person that I believe is more likely to be a centrist candidate.”

“I think that would be an ideal candidate, although it is not very likely that he’s going to run. Not at this point, certainly,” he said.

He further expounded on what he likes about Virginia’s governor
