GOP is losing two megadonors

Two prominent Jewish donors to the Republican Party announced over the past days that they are cutting their ties to the GOP because of U.S. President Donald Trump. The two donors, Seth Klarman and Leslie Wexnner, have both contributed millions of dollars to Republican groups and candidates in recent years. They are both also known as major Jewish philanthropists and supporters of Israel.

Wexner anounced his decision last week following a visit by former U.S. President Barack Obama to Ohio. Wexnner, who in 2012 gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups supporting Obama’s Republican election rival that year, Mitt Romney, said he now misses Obama’s humility and candor. He then stated, speaking at a philanthropic event: “I’m no longer a Republican.”

A few days after Wexnner’s announcement, the New York Times published a lengthy interview with Klarman, a Boston-based billionaire and the owner of the news website The Times of Israel. Klarman has donated even more than Wexnner to Republican groups and candidates in past election cycles. Yet this year, he told the newspaper, he was planning to give millions of dollars to Democratic groups and candidates, in the hope that the Democrats will take control of Congress.
