Ken Griffin, one of the most prolific supporters of Republicans across the US, said he’s waiting to see who Donald Trump picks as his running mate before backing his candidacy for president.
A Trump Administration would likely improve America’s standing on the world stage, Griffin told Bloomberg's Erik Schatzker from the Qatar Economic Forum. He declined to name who he’d like to see as the 77-year-old’s vice presidential pick.
“He will exude a level of strength that will help stabilize the world in these trying times,” Griffin said. “You could never be certain about President Trump. And that’s part of the reason that he is more intimidating to our adversaries. You never know exactly what the response is going to be.”
