Anthony Scaramucci, a former longtime friend of President Donald Trump and ex-White House communications director, was spotted at a charity event headlined by 2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden on Saturday.
CBS News reporter Ben Mitchell tweeted a photo of Scaramucci, aka “The Mooch,” at the Blue Dream Gala hosted by the Greek Orthodox Church of the Hamptons–where Biden happened to give the main speech.
Scaramucci denied that his presence signaled support for Biden’s campaign, saying he’s still a “registered Republican.”
“I haven’t switch my support to Vice President Joe Biden,” he told reporters. “But I will be working to find a nominee to challenge Donald Trump because he’s lost his mind. And we’ve got to get somebody in there before we lose the election in 2020.”

Scaramucci and Trump had a public falling out last week when the President called the former White House aide a “nut job” for questioning Trump’s fitness to serve. The Mooch fired back with a Washington Post op-ed urging Republicans to speak out against Trump and “help save the country from his depredations.”
You can support Joe Walsh, the candidate who’s unfit, completely unfit, to be president, who is now officially challenging the incumbent who’s unfit, completely unfit, to be president. The GOP has a deep bench.
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family.
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.
(Bis-mil-lah!)
Scaramucci is a former Goldman-Sachs guy and a financier for many years. I’m beginning to think he’s the canary in the coal mine signaling the displeasure of the corporate community with Trump -his handling of the economy and the uncertainty in terms of ability to make investment decisions due to his pathological instability.
So they’ve looked around and landed on Biden as their best bet -a moderate Democrat who won’t make wholesale changes as President and will probably run the economy as an extension of the Obama years. I suppose we’ll see if Biden picks up millions of corporate donations in the near future.
Agreed on this completely. The issue isn’t that he’s going to vote for a Dem. It’s that Wall Street may feel like it’s gotten whatever it’s going to get out of Rump and now it’s time to leave the party. I don’t have a problem with that.
ETA: On second thought, he’s also trying to do some networking so he can get employment.
Whatever hastens Trump’s departure.
That’s an imperative
The easiest way to do this is through the emotional piece. With Barr, Trump has (temporarily, I hope) stalled on the Bringing-to-Justice-by-the-Rule-of-Law front.
Make Trump have to use methods (and bullshit-inane-juvenile-schoolyard-tantrum-missives) honed in the casino world in the world he is in NOW.
