This time four years ago, Warren Buffett was publicly campaigning for Hillary Clinton, even planning a trolley ride to the polls with Omaha voters. The billionaire’s schedule looks a little different ahead of the 2020 election, however. Notably, it lacks any public political engagements. Buffett has yet to raise funds or campaign for this year’s Democratic presidential nominee, former vice-president Joe Biden

Things have gone so far left that even leftist billionaires are strting to jump ship. I would not be suprised if a couple others refused to go all in for Joe and the Hoe.

Warren Buffett, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc and one of the world's most admired investors, said on Monday he is a Democrat, and would have "no trouble" voting for fellow billionaire Michael Bloomberg for U.S. president. Speaking on CNBC television, Buffett also said he agreed with some positions of Bernie Sanders, who is looking to cement his front-runner status in the U.S. Democratic presidential race. He did not endorse any particular candidate. . . Buffett said he sympathized with Sanders, a Vermont senator and self-avowed democratic socialist, in believing that the government should be "doing better by people who get left behind." Buffett nonetheless said: "I don't believe in giving up the capitalist system," and that "I would have no trouble voting for Mike Bloomberg.". . .: Warren Buffett Says 'I'm a Democrat,' and Would Have 'No Trouble' Voting for Bloomberg (02/24/2020)

Perhaps he and others are taking a long view, expect Trump to be reelected, and then think Democrat chances will be much better in 2024, when there is no incumbent president seeking reelection.

You mean when the Republican choice is Jeb! Or Pierre Delecto? The future can be a scary place.

Maybe he finally came to his senses.

“Warren Buffett campaigned for Obama and Clinton...”

The filthy old prick sure didn’t do his country that made him so filthy rich any favors. Thanks a rot.

Buffet was probably behind the stealth effort run in CA to push Bloomberg.
My ex told me about it as she was getting paid along with many others.

Yep, I hear you. I too wonder about 2024, and who the Republican nominee might be. When the Trump era comes to an end, what is the GOP future?
