President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to nominate Scott Bessent, and campaign ally, for Treasury secretary, one of the biggest prizes. Multiple news organizations reported the plans Friday evening. Trump's spokesperson did not immediately return Business Insider's request for comment. Bessent, 62, founded and runs the macro hedge fund Key Square Group and emerged as a to Trump on the campaign trail. His journey to the top tier of the GOP financial world hasn't been entirely linear, though — it includes years working for the liberal philanthropist George Soros and hosting a fundraiser for Al Gore, a former Democratic vice president. The billionaire investor spent his childhood in South Carolina. His father went bankrupt investing in real estate, which Bessent later said led him to get his first summer job when he was 9 years old, . Bessent attended Yale and broke onto the investing scene after working for Soros' first partner, James Rogers. He joined Soros Fund Management in 1991. By 2011, Bessent was Soros' chief investment officer, and he was instrumental in the fund's hugely successful bets against the British pound and Japanese yen. In 2015, Bessent broke off to start Key Square. He hasn't talked to Soros in years, The Wall Street Journal said.

They spend their spare time preserving historic mansions and used to own an . Despite his nomination that would put him at the center of Trumpworld, Bessent has a somewhat checkered political history. He disagreed with much of the work Soros did through his nonprofit and has primarily donated to Republican candidates, though he's helped Democrats on occasion. In 2000, Bessent held a fundraiser at his home for Gore's presidential bid. By 2016, Bessent was inching toward Trump, telling people they weren't taking Trump seriously enough as a candidate. After Trump won, Bessent donated $1 million to his inaugural committee. Though Bessent has known Trump's family for decades, the 2024 election brought him closer to the former and future president — Trump has called Bessent " " and "a nice-looking guy." Rather than slam Bessent for his previous connections to Soros, a favorite right-wing punching bag, Trump appears impressed by how successful he was at Soros' firm. Bessent donated $3 million to Trump-aligned PACs and Republican committees this election cycle. His support extended beyond his pocketbook, as he frequently conferred with campaign officials on . Known for his interest in niche economic data, Bessent helped draft speeches and write policy proposals for Trump's economic ideas. By the end of the race, Bessent was fully woven into Trump's orbit; he attended the last two rallies and watched from as election results rolled in. As treasury secretary, Bessent would face a . While unemployment is low and the economy is growing at a healthy clip, Americans remain frustrated by and what they see as . Dubbed a "Trump whisperer" by , Bessent has signaled support for some of Trump's key proposals. Among Bessent's top priorities is shrinking the country's significant debt, primarily through increasing growth and, in turn, boosting tax revenues. He has also supported Trump's , telling CNBC that they should be "layered in gradually" to spread out any inflationary impact. At one point, Bessent floated the idea of a — under his theory, Trump would nominate a replacement to lead the central bank before Jerome Powell's term ends in 2026. After facing , Bessent walked back the idea. Bessent has advised Trump on a "3-3-3 policy," which "cutting the budget deficit to 3% of gross domestic product by 2028, spurring GDP growth of 3% through deregulation, and producing an additional 3 million barrels of oil or its equivalent a day." On November 10, the published an opinion piece by Bessent that praised Trump's economic vision. The , he wrote, were evidently giddy about the former president's return to the White House.
