Bill Ackman has been a vocal critic of short-selling in the past, but his recent partnership with the White House has led some to wonder if he's changed his tune.

Bill Ackman, a billionaire hedge fund manager, has become a public figure in the backlash against "woke" politics in America. He has been campaigning against DEI, or "diversity, equity, inclusion", describing it as "reverse racism."

Bill Ackman's next target could be Joe Biden. He's been very vocal about his opposition to "woke" politics in America.

Ackman has backed Dean Phillips, a long-shot challenger to Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination. After public nudging from Ackman, Phillips scrubbed a reference to DEI from his campaign website.

Ackman's intervention has been described by Brian Klaas as a "window into the ways in which extremely rich people have the ability to influence politics disproportionately to other democracies".

Ackman has made himself and his family subject to greater scrutiny. Allegations of plagiarism have been made against his wife Neri Oxman, and members of Congress have asked for his firm Pershing Square's diversity data.

Ackman's posts on X — "We need to end this nightmare now" — suggest Biden is his target.

Bill Ackman, a 57-year-old billionaire investor, is contributing $1 million to support Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips in the 2024 presidential election.

Ackman believes Phillips would be a truly outstanding President of the United States and thinks he has a credible path to winning the nomination.

The contribution is going to a political action committee that supports Phillips, after the candidate gave a presentation to employees at the Pershing Square offices.

Ackman was impressed by Phillips' entrepreneurial and business success, as well as his views on the economy and the border crisis.

He's never made a larger investment in someone running for office before.

Ackman is not opposed to voting for a Republican and would vote for Phillips regardless of the party he's on.

Bill Ackman, a billionaire businessman, thinks President Biden should drop out of the 2024 presidential election due to his age.

Ackman made this statement during an interview on CNBC's "Squawkbox".

He believes Biden is not fit to serve and that his age is a major issue.

Ackman thinks Biden's age makes him appear weak, which contributes to the problems in the world geopolitically.

As a centrist, Ackman has always supported whoever he believes is best for the country, regardless of party affiliation.

Joe Biden has been at the center of several controversies throughout his career. One notable example is his handling of the Anita Hill hearing during his Senate Judiciary Committee chairmanship in 1991.

Biden's decision to question Anita Hill about her allegations against Clarence Thomas has been widely criticized. He has since expressed regret for his role in the hearing.

Some critics argue that Biden's leadership during the hearing was inadequate, while others see it as a necessary part of the confirmation process.
