Oracle’s Larry Ellison Set to Donate Millions to Back Tim Scott’s Presidential Run
Breitbart ^ | 22 May 2023 | JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison is set to donate tens of millions of dollars to back Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) for president in 2024, according to reports.

Ellison has been planning to support Scott’s presidential bid since he donated $30 million to the pro-Scott super PAC, Opportunity Matters Fund, CNBC reported.

After months of speculation, Scott officially kicked off his presidential campaign on Monday in North Charleston, South Carolina. Scott gave a shoutout to “one of his mentors,” Ellison, who sat in a VIP section at the rally.

“One of my mentors, Larry Ellison, is with us today, and I am so thankful to have so many different mentors in the house,” Scott told the crowd.

Since Scott’s campaign launch, the Opportunity Matters Fund PAC has been rebranded as the Trust In the Mission PAC, or TIM PAC.

Ellison plans to donate up to $10 million to TIM PAC “in the early going of Scott’s run,” CNBC detailed.

“Ellison has signaled to allies that he could give at least between $20 million and $30 million more this cycle,” a veteran Republican fundraiser told CNBC.

Ellison is a fan of Scott’s “strong support” for Israel and his promotion of school choice, according to reports.

Ellison, the fourth richest person in the world according to Forbes, has a net worth of nearly $127 billion.

No, trouble for Trump and keep him from winning the 2024 race. Ellison ain’t no friend of the Republicans or conservatives.

Since you can only by law, donate up to a few thousand dollars directly to a political candidate, how does Larry Ellison’s donation help in Tim Scott’s campaign?

If he donates $5 million for instance, how is the money spent LEGALLY to benefit Scott’s bid for the presidency?

Team DeSantis has got that covered.

Team DeSantis is weirdly obsessed with people’s sex lives. https://t.co/a2kd9dAfoH— MAGA Catholic ✝️ 🇻🇦 🇺🇸 (@daddy38456) May 22, 2023

This is what a campaign run by Jeff Roe looks like.

He lied mercilessly about Ben Carson in 2016.

Now he has his minions lying about Tim Scott’s sexuality.

Why does Jeff Roe and Team DeSantis hate strong, conservative, black men? https://t.co/Pycdz7ETmq— Lucky Teeter (@LuckyTeeter) May 22, 2023

-------------------------------------------

I deleted a tweet about Tim Scott potentially being gay because it is apparently not the case.

Regardless of his sexual preference, he is not going to be the nominee and has definite RINO tendencies such as endorsing RINO Lisa Murkowski. https://t.co/AEhhb3zh2K— Cryptid Politics 🇺🇸🐊 (@CryptidPolitics) May 22, 2023

Tim Scott: we need to unify and get along.
Dems: browbeat, harass, and malign conservatives.
Also Tim Scott: asks Dems if there’s anything Republicans can reach across the aisle to them for.

Oh, and he also endorsed Lisa Murkowski.

Trump is complimenting and encouraging Tim Scott, while Team DeSantis is melting down.

Pocket change for Ellison, but it makes you wonder what he gets in return?

Post what Trump said.

Post his comments.

It was Trump’s comments that got everyone talking on Twitter.

He praised Scott and did his typical childish attacks on DeSantis.

He has 29 million already from his senate run. They just keep it an account and use it election after election. Not sure what happens when they stop running.

The DNC and all democrat supporting businesses and organizations will soon start sending money to Trump and pay $100 million and more in advertising for the Trump candidacy.

Democrats believe that Trump is the easiest republican candidate for Biden to beat, so, they’ll be supporting Trump during the primaries. Trump should welcome the help. ;)

Our nation is in the grips of Satanism & evil, and Ellison backs Scott because of his support for Israel. Got it.
