By Davide Barbuscia

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Citadel CEO Ken Griffin stated on Thursday that he has not supported Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

> "I have not supported Donald Trump, I'm so torn on this one," the hedge fund billionaire and Republican mega-donor told journalists at an event in New York.

Griffin expressed his concerns about both candidates:

> "There are real issues with both candidates, neither of the candidates are going to receive an award for the quality of their policies, and frankly, I think neither candidate's going to receive an award for the quality of their leadership — I think this is a deeply personal year for every American voter," he said.

Despite previously showing skepticism about Trump, who is running against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 election, Griffin mentioned:

> "I know who I'm going to vote for, but it's not with a smile on my face."
