Democratic mega-donor Tom Steyer says he'll spend $30 million to flip Congress

WASHINGTON — Tom Steyer, a billionaire environmentalist who has waged a high-profile campaign calling for President Trump’s impeachment, announced Monday that he will not run for public office this year.

Instead, the San Francisco-based mega-donor plans to pump $30 million into helping Democrats seize control of Congress by mobilizing young voters.

Steyer called Trump’s election a “disastrous turn.”

“I’m willing to do whatever it takes to save our country,” Steyer during a news conference. “I feel called to do is organizing and mobilizing America’s voters.”
