The Weekly Standard, a prominent conservative publication from 1995 until its closure in 2018, fell out of favor as its writers adopted a staunch anti-Trump stance, rendering it a product that failed to resonate with its audience.
According to the Gateway Pundit, Kristol's transformation from a conservative icon to a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump has been marked by his involvement with Republican Voters Against Trump, a project of Defending Democracy Together, which he helped launch in May 2020. His political shift became evident when he publicly declared his support for the Democratic ticket in the 2024 election, stating on X, "Just filled out my early absentee ballot in VA for Joe Biden & Kamala Harris, Mark Warner, and Jennifer Wexton. No regrets at all about this."

Recent revelations have shed light on Kristol's financial backing, suggesting that his anti-Trump rhetoric has been lucrative. As reported by Data Republican, Kristol's organization, the Defending Democracy Together Institute, has benefited indirectly from USAID funds channeled through Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. The latter received $20 million from USAID, subsequently distributing funds to the Hopewell Fund, which in turn allocated $2 million to Kristol's group. This financial trail has raised questions about Kristol's motivations and the extent to which financial incentives have influenced his outspoken criticism of Trump.
