Hedge Fund Chief Chanos Says He’d Back Biden Presidency Run

Jim Chanos, the hedge fund manager known for betting against companies, said he would back Vice President Joe Biden, who is considering seeking the Democratic nomination for president.

“If the vice president is going to run, I would raise money for him and I would give to him personally,” Chanos, 57, said in a telephone interview on Tuesday. “I’ve had no indication from him about what he’s going to do. I haven’t spoken to him.”
