Tom Steyer – 2024 Presidential Candidate Odds

Who Is Tom Steyer?

Tom Steyer is a 62-year-old billionaire philanthropist that earned his wealth as a hedge fund manager. A late-comer to the 2020 presidential race, Steyer did not launch his campaign until July 9, 2019. Never one to seek political office for himself prior to this election, Steyer’s first high-profile endeavor involved a $10 million campaign to impeach President Trump in 2017. Steyer also launched NextGen America to support groups positions regarding climate change, immigration, health care, and education.

Steyer officially ended his 2020 Presidential campaign on February 29, spending over $253 million and winning 0 delegates through the first four primaries and caucuses. He spent more than $1600 for every vote he amassed during the cycle. This is currently a record in national-level US politics, so at least there’s that.

Voter Base

Tom Steyer’s voter base is centered around his previous endeavors. He got his political start when he worked on Walter Mondale’s Presidential campaign in 1983. He would later become a major donor to the Barrack Obama campaign in 2008. As a climate change activist, Steyer also attracts green-leaning voters.
