The billionaire, once a vocal surrogate for her 2024 campaign, declared he doesnt care who the candidates are, insisting his sole focus is fixing Americas messed-up health care system. Politico reports he dismissed the idea outright, saying it doesnt matter, while ABC News 4 and Fox Baltimore echo his raw quote: Im trying to change how f-cked up this health care industry is right now.
