Warren Buffett donates $25,000 to Ready for Hillary

Warren Buffett is ready for Hillary Clinton.

The third richest man in the world donated $25,000 last quarter to Ready For Hillary, the maximum donation the political action committee allows, a source familiar with Ready for Hillary’s financial disclosure report told Bloomberg.

The group, which has no official ties to Clinton, now has more than $11 million to help with her election campaign should she officially decide to run for president in 2016.

Buffett has donated money to party committees and candidates, but has long disliked political action committees and never donated to them.

Yet this move by Buffett, who has been a Clinton supporter since donating to her Senate campaign in 2009, shows he really is serious about Clinton winning the presidency.

“Hillary is going to win, yeah,” he said at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in October. “I will bet money on it. And I don’t do that easily.”

Clinton has a nearly 51-point lead over her next competitor, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, in a RealClearPolitics average of polls.
