Billionaire who donated to Trump in 2016 donates to Biden
Source: The Hill
Jennifer Pritzker, a billionaire who donated to President Trump in 2016, made a $2,000 donation to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in August.
The donation pales in comparison to the $250,000 she donated to Trump in 2016, though it underscores Bidens effort to court supporters from the other side of the aisle.
...
In a July 2017 opinion piece in the Chicago Sun-Times, Pritzker said Trumps decision to reinstate a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military hurts our armed forces and shows a callous disregard for the rights of American citizens.
Pritzker is a retired Army lieutenant colonel and the worlds only known transgender billionaire.

(16,616 posts)Pritzker is a lifelong Republican,[2] and major donor to candidates and organizations such as the NRA, John McCain, and Mitt Romney.[3][4] However, as of 2019 she is reevaluating her support, citing the Trump Administration's transgender military ban and other anti-LGBTQ policies: "When the GOP asks me to deliver six- or seven-figure contributions for the 2020 elections, my first response will be: why should I contribute to my own destruction?.[26]

(13,593 posts)That's the mental defect of all republicans. Her quote leaves out the part about "I contribute big time to other people's destruction."
The only time anything matters to a republican is when it affects them personally. "Hang the gays!!111" followed by "Gee. My son is gay, so I will now change my position."

(18,402 posts)Look, she's a bit of an odd-ball in the family, clearly wanting to shake it up both through her military service and museum, and her gender change. The rest of the family are all diehard Democrats.
At least she's seen the light ... if even just a little bit.

(21,751 posts)but when Trump went after people similar to her? That was too far.
Enjoy your tax cuts, Jennifer.
