# Rieder has donated to Trump's opponents and senior Democrats, which may complicate his bid for Federal Reserve Chair

> Records from the U.S. Federal Election Commission show that BlackRock executive Rick Rieder has donated to Trump's political opponents and Democratic leaders, which may affect his prospects of becoming the Federal Reserve Chairman. Rieder's donation history spans both parties, including support for candidates such as Nikki Haley, Pete Buttigieg, Cory Booker, and Jeb Bush. During Trump's three runs for office, Rieder did not provide support to him

Records from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show that Rick Rieder, an executive at BlackRock who is considered a leading candidate for the next Federal Reserve Chair, has made donations to some of President Trump's major political opponents and Democratic leaders. This history could test Trump's inclination to appoint loyalists.

According to FEC data matching Rieder's name and employer information, Rieder has a long history of donations involving both major U.S. parties, including supporting Nikki Haley's presidential campaign in 2024, backing Democrats Pete Buttigieg and Cory Booker in 2020, and supporting Jeb Bush's candidacy in 2016. FEC records indicate that **Rieder did not provide support to Trump during his three presidential campaigns in 2016, 2020, and 2024**. (Bloomberg)
