Ken Langone, co-founder of Home Depot and billionaire Republican donor, officially endorsed Nikki Haley in the 2024 presidential election.
“I think she’s just what we need right now. I think her approach is smart. I think she’s clarified herself on some issues, which is very important,” Langone said to Fox News’ Neil Cavuto.
“When you think of where we’ve been in the last six or seven or eight years, it’s not good, Neil. It’s not good at all,” Langone added.
Langone’s endorsement follows an endorsement for Haley from Americans for Prosperity (AFP) Action, a Koch-affiliated organization.
“She has what it takes to lead a policy agenda to take on our nation’s biggest challenges and help ensure our country’s best days are ahead,” the organization said of its endorsement for her.
The CEO claimed Trump’s actions in the final months of his presidency were “disgraceful” and had negatively impacted his chances for a future run.
“What Trump put this country through for the last three months of his presidency was disgraceful,” Langone said. “So, you know, I think what happened on Jan. 6, all I had to say was, ‘Please go home. You made known your feelings. Now go home.'”
