Warren Buffett has yet to endorse a presidential candidate
CNNNew York CNN Business — Warren Buffett has been surprisingly quiet about the presidential election. The Oracle of Omaha hasn’t publicly backed Joe Biden, but Buffett hosted a fundraiser for Biden’s former boss, Barack Obama, in 2011, and he fully backed Hillary Clinton in her 2016 campaign against Donald Trump. Buffett continues to contribute to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, as he did in 2016 and during the 2018 midterm elections, but the last individual candidate he has donated to was Arizona’s Democratic senate candidate Mark Kelly, a former astronaut who is currently leading in the the polls against Republican Senator Martha McSally. The Berkshire workers’ show of support for Trump has even landed Berkshire Hathaway in a fund called the Point Bridge GOP Stock Tracker ETF, which trades under the symbol MAGA. Biden boasted during a virtual shareholder event earlier this month that he had recently spoken with Buffett on the phone and that the two share a desire “to lead the whole damn world in a way that no one else can.” “There’s no limit to America’s future.
