Never-Trumpers 2024 are mostly globalists while pretending to be right-of-center, who reportedly oppose the nomination of Donald Trump for president in 2024. This list of self-centered groups and individuals, few of whom have had any political influence of any significance, reportedly includes the following:[1]
- Charles Koch
- Americans for Prosperity
- Koch network
- Club for Growth - derided by Trump as “The Club For NO Growth, an assemblage of political misfits, globalists, and losers"[2]
- Nikki Haley
- Kenneth C. Griffin
- Stephen A. Schwarzman
- defeated Rep. Liz Cheney - humiliated by a landslide defeat in her own Wyoming primary
- Principles First[3]
There was $16.7 billion spent on the 2022 midterm election campaigns, but the Koch network reportedly spent only $80 million nationwide, which is less than one-half of one percent of the total.
Speakers at anti-Trump Club for Growth 2023
The following spoke at the Never-Trump, globalist Club for Growth convention at the posh The Breakers hotel in West Palm Beach, Florida, the first week of March 2023, rather than at the pro-Trump CPAC:
- former VP Mike Pence
- Gov. Ron DeSantis
- Sen. Tim Scott
- Gov. Chris Sununu
- Gov. Kristi Noem
- former Gov. Nikki Haley, who also spoke at CPAC but was heckled there
Club for Growth donated $2M to DeSantis the last cycle. Our column can criticize how they (and other dark money groups like them) are not really that significant as that was merely 2% of DeSantis's fundraising, and nothing compared with the $16B raised and spent overall nationwide in the last elections.
Principles First Summit
Held in early March 2023 as a "counterweight" to Trump's triumphant appearance at CPAC, the Principles First Summit was a pathetic gathering of Republican opponents to Donald Trump:[4]
| “ | It’s been roughly six years since the dawn of the Never Trump movement. And, over that time period, it has not had much success — at least when it comes to reforming the party to which its members once belonged. | ” |
