Bernie Marcus, the co-founder of Home Depot, announced his support for former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race, insisting that Mr. Trump is the best person to lead America and tackle challenges facing the country.
“Let’s face it: Donald Trump is going to win the nomination. You [Republicans] should be doing all you can to ensure his winning the general election,” Mr. Marcus wrote in a Nov. 9 op-ed at RealClear Politics. “I understand the frustration of some of my Republican friends who do not like or are offended by things Donald Trump does and says. I, too, have been frustrated at times.” However, “we cannot let his brash style be the reason we walk away from his otherwise excellent stewardship of the United States during his first term in office.”
