Michelle Caruso Cabrerra raised millions from some serious WS Titans and she still lost the primary to AOC. Its a damn shame too. The list of folks that donated the max to her campaign reads like a who's who of WS. I'd vote for her in a heartbeat.
I think she may still be running as an Independent. Its hard to tell... no one can tell me Google Search isn't biased af. And yes I used other engines too. She needs to update her Twitter page.
EDIT:
They include hedge fund billionaires: Christopher Flowers; Tudor Investment’s Paul Tudor Jones; Paulson & Co.’s John Paulson; and Trian Fund Management’s Nelson Peltz and Peter May. The list goes on, as she also collected checks from Interactive Brokers founder and multibillionaire Thomas Peterffy; Crestview Partners CEO Barry Volpert; and Key Square Group founder Scott Bessent. TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts, Elliott Management executive and former Bush administration official Dan Senor; former Bush administration economist Larry Lindsey; Home Depot founder and billionaire investor Ken Langone; billionaire Gristedes Foods CEO John Catsimatidis; andbillionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller. (Druckenmiller also contributed $25,000 to a super PAC called Fight for Our Communities, which spent $28,000 on digital ads and direct mail targeting Ocasio-Cortez; Caruso-Cabrera’s husband, Stephen Dizard, managing partner at investment firm Wood Capital Partners, was the group’s top donor, contributing $30,000, per FEC records.)
14th Congressional District Democratic Primary
This is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s first re-election campaign, and she drew a well-financed challenger in Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, a former CNBC anchor. A.O.C. took the challenge seriously enough that she paid for a late attack ad calling her opponent a former Republican.
