Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is hitting the campaign trail running…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite his previous support of Donald Trump, Hal Lambert, who founded Point Bridge Capital \u2013 also known as “MAGA ETF” is betting against Trump in this election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I\u2019m in for DeSantis this time \u2014 I plan to do a lot to help DeSantis win,” Lambert told the New York Post prior to DeSantis joining the race. “Ron is good at giving a message.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lambert served on Trump\u2019s inaugural committee in 2016. His issue with Trump for 2024 is that the former president is too focused on the results from 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We can\u2019t talk about things from four years ago that can\u2019t be changed,” Lambert said. “Trump is going to have a difficult time winning the general election. The election won\u2019t be about Joe Biden\u2019s bad record. It will be a referendum on Trump instead.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lambert founded Point Bridge Capital as an exchange-traded fund that invests only in companies with employees and political action committees (PACs) that support Republican candidates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Republican donor noted that immigration is set to be a major focus for Americans during the campaign cycle and Trump’s inability to fulfill his campaign promises could come back to haunt him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With millions of illegals from all over the world swarming across the border under Biden, it\u2019s an everyday reminder that Trump didn\u2019t fulfill his number one campaign promise \u2014 building a wall and having Mexico pay for it,” Lambert said. “We got neither and our country will forever be changed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeSantis launched his highly-anticipated presidential campaign on Wednesday with Twitter owner Elon Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The popular governor joined a growing list of primary challengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this week Sen. Tim Scott<\/a> (S.C) announced his bid for the White House. Former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley<\/a>, tech mogul Vivek Ramaswamy<\/a>, and former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson<\/a> have also jumped into the race. Conservative commentator and California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder also recently announced his candidacy for president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former president Donald Trump <\/a>has consistently dominated polls since announcing his third presidential campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
