According to local media reports in the United States, David McCormick, former BRIDGE WATER CEO Who officially announced his bid for Senator Of Pennsylvania last week, has been endorsed by a number of Wall Street tycoons.
For example, according to an invitation received by the media, in March, well-known investor Paul Tudor Jones will hold a fundraising event for McCormick at his home in Palm Beach, Florida, and Schwarzman (chairman of Blackstone) and Ken Griffin (founder of Castle Investments) will also appear in a series of organizers.
Griffin famously gave an interview in 1999 to the effect that "the political influence of the extremely wealthy is actually very small." In addition to his speeches, Griffin has donated tens of millions of dollars in campaign funds to Republican candidates and caucuses over the years. Schwarzman is the one who donated the most from Wall Street in the 2020 US election, and subsequently served as the chairman of the White House Corporate Executive Policy Committee.
In addition to these two high-profile investors, gary Cohen (former Chairman of the Board of Directors of Goldman Sachs and Economic Adviser to the President of the previous Administration), Druckenmiller (former Chairman of Dukan Capital), Robart Steele (former Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Treasury Department for Home Finance), and William Ford (CEO of Transatlantic Investments) co-chaired the event.
Although in McCormick's personal streaming channel, the image of the focus is on the military career and "grounded" hunting skills, but the experience of working in the US Treasury Department and Bridgewater has undoubtedly branded him as a "Wall Street network".
McCormick himself is a typical Republican representative: pro-business, lower-tax rates, and less arrogant than Trump, which is attractive to Wall Street.

Since McCormick just announced his candidacy last week, it is not yet time to disclose the list of donors according to law, but it is bound to be familiar with many names.
Despite the support of "the whole wall street," McCormick's campaign still faces a bitter battle. The George W. Bush Administration Treasury official first competed with television personality Memmott Oz, M.D., for the Republican nomination.

Because McCormick had long lived in Connecticut, where Bridgewater is located, the biggest challenge was getting approval from local Penn voters, but Oz had no advantage in that regard, having lived in New Jersey for a long time.
