Summary
Ike Perlmutter, former chairman of Marvel Entertainment at Disney, is planning to make a significant donation to support former President Donald Trump's 2024 run for president. Perlmutter has not yet decided on the exact amount he will donate, but his spokesman stated that it will be "meaningful." Perlmutter has been a long-time supporter of Trump and has previously donated millions to pro-Trump super PACs. His decision to back Trump again could be seen as a blow to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is Trump's main rival in the Republican primary. Perlmutter's relationship with Disney and DeSantis has been strained, with conflicts over political involvement and company decisions.
