						<p>Billionaire hedge-fund manager <strong>Leon Cooperman</strong> revealed that he voted for Joe Biden for president even though he expected President Trump to make him richer.</p>
<p>Cooperman, 77,&nbsp; who&#8217;s worth $2.5 billion, <strong>according to Forbes,</strong>&nbsp;has called himself a registered independent but he&#8217;s a longtime donor to Republican candidates and political committees. He also famously <strong>sparred with Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren</strong> over her proposal for a wealth tax last year.</p>
<p>&#8220;I voted my values and not my pocketbook,&#8221; the Omega Advisors founder <strong>told CNBC</strong> late Tuesday. &#8220;I’ll be richer tomorrow if Trump wins. I’ll probably be poorer tomorrow if Biden wins. But I voted my values.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cooperman took issue with Trump&#8217;s &#8220;interventionist&#8221; approach to economic policy. He specifically criticized the pressure Trump put on Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell to set negative interest rates, which the central bank has not done.</p>
<p>&#8220;He’s not a capitalist. I call him an interventionist,&#8221; Cooperman said. &#8220;We came into 2020 with a trillion-dollar budget deficit and a fully employed economy, yet he was trying to gun the economy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cooperman <strong>told CNBC</strong> in August that he was undecided about whom to vote for this year. He has not given money to any federal candidates in the 2020 election cycle, but he donated $15,400 to Republicans in 2018 after contributing $1,000 to Hillary Clinton&#8217;s 2016 campaign, <strong>Federal Election Commission records show</strong>.</p>
