Billionaire investor Bill Ackman is considering taking seaport developer Howard Hughes private. His Pershing Square Capital currently holds a 38% investment in Howard Hughes which is worth about $3 billion. Meanwhile, Bill Ackman is continuing with his rhetoric in support of Donald Trump and against the Democratic Party.
In a recent Tweet, Bill Ackman told American Democrats that the best thing that could happen to them would be for “this election to be a massive loss for the party.” This is because the billionaire thinks that this is “the only way the party will reform itself.”
Ackman went on to accuse the party of “shutting down” any competition in its primary elections. This comment was in reference to how no new vote was held after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Vice President Kamala Harris became the new candidate. He also alleged that democrats misled the public about the health of the president.
