Donald Trump To Get Endorsement From Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman: Report
Stephen A. Schwarzman, chairman, CEO and co-founder of Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:BX), has reportedly pledged to back Donald Trump as a "vote for change."
據報道，黑石公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：BX）董事長、首席執行官兼聯合創始人斯蒂芬·施瓦茲曼承諾支持唐納德·特朗普，以 “爲變革投票”。
On Friday, Schwarzman announced his intentions to contribute to Trump's campaign as well as to several Republican Senate candidates, reported Axios.
據Axios報道，施瓦茲曼週五宣佈他打算爲特朗普的競選活動以及幾位共和黨參議院候選人捐款。
With the endorsement, Trump gains access to Schwarzman's influential network of Republican donors and could potentially garner support from business leaders previously hesitant to support him, the report added.
報告補充說，在獲得支持後，特朗普獲得了進入施瓦茲曼有影響力的共和黨捐助者網絡的機會，並有可能獲得此前對支持他猶豫不決的商界領袖的支持。

In a statement, Schwarzman, the billionaire co-founder and chair of the world's largest private equity firm and a major GOP donor, said the "dramatic rise of antisemitism has led me to focus on the consequences of upcoming elections with greater urgency," reported Politico.
Politico報道，億萬富翁聯合創始人兼全球最大私募股權公司主席、共和黨主要捐助者施瓦茲曼在一份聲明中說：“反猶太主義的急劇上升使我更加緊迫地關注即將舉行的選舉的後果。”
Similar to numerous prominent Wall Street donors to Trump, Schwarzman distanced himself from the former president shortly after the 2020 election, particularly during Trump's subsequent efforts to overturn its results, the report added.
報告補充說，與特朗普的衆多著名華爾街捐助者類似，施瓦茲曼在2020年大選後不久與這位前總統保持距離，特別是在特朗普隨後試圖推翻選舉結果期間。
But Schwarzman says he now shares "the concern of most Americans that our economic, immigration and foreign policies are taking the country in the wrong direction," the report read.
但報告稱，施瓦茲曼說，他現在和大多數美國人一樣，擔心我們的經濟、移民和外交政策正在使國家走向錯誤的方向。”

施瓦茲曼對特朗普的支持恰逢有跡象表明這位前總統的幾位主要捐助者正在重新加入他的行列。特朗普還獲得了科技和金融領域人士的新支持。
Additionally, billionaires like Harold Hamm, Nelson Peltz, and Robert Bigelow are throwing their support behind Trump, despite previously criticizing his actions following the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, Politico noted.
此外，Politico指出，哈羅德·哈姆、納爾遜·佩爾茨和羅伯特·比格洛等億萬富翁正在支持特朗普，儘管此前曾批評他在2021年1月6日國會大廈暴動後的行爲。
While Trump has garnered support from megadonors, Biden's fundraising efforts have shown signs of decline, with April donations falling short of Trump's reported haul alongside the RNC.
儘管特朗普獲得了超級捐助者的支持，但拜登的籌款活動已顯示出下降的跡象，4月份的捐款未達到特朗普與RNC一起報告的捐款額。
Despite this, Biden retains support from investors, including Blackstone's President and COO Jon Gray, and former ambassador to Israel Tom Nides, who now serves as the firm's vice chair.
儘管如此，拜登仍然得到投資者的支持，包括黑石集團總裁兼首席運營官喬恩·格雷以及現任該公司副主席的前駐以色列大使湯姆·尼德斯。
