Robert and Rebekah Mercer ranked among President Donald Trump's most influential backers in 2016. But they've all but abandoned the embattled president and aren't likely to help him in the home stretch for 2020, five people who know the media-averse Mercers tell Insider. "They're 100, 100, 100% out," an associate of Rebekah Mercer said.
But in 2019 and 2020, the Mercers have fallen off the megadonor list. Their lone contribution toward Trump's reelection came on February 14, when Robert Mercer sent a $355,200 valentine to Trump Victory a joint fundraising entity that splits money among the Trump presidential campaign, the Republican National Committee, and 22 state Republican committees. Of that, Trump's committee got only $5,600, the legal maximum for a primary and general election combined.
Rebekah Mercer, who has herself spread hundreds of thousands of dollars among dozens of Republican committees over the years, hasn't given a cent to Trump's reelection cause.
