The Daily Caller has an interesting synopsis of the donors who are now rallying behind Nikki Haley.
"I'm a long way from making my mind up - something could change - but I'm very impressed with her," billionaire co-founder of Home Depot Kenneth Langone told the NYT. "I think she's a viable candidate. I would certainly like her over Trump."
Langone has already contributed to Haley's presidential bid, and is weighing donating additional funds, according to the NYT. Another Home Depot co-founder, Bernie Marcus, has endorsed Trump.
"It's invigorating to be truly excited by a candidate again," Jonathan Bush, CEO of Zus Health and cousin to former President George W. Bush, told the NYT. Bush, who held a fundraiser for Haley's campaign in early November, voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 and libertarian Gary Johnson in 2016, according to the NYT. "The topic that everyone is on is, 'How do you beat Donald Trump?'" said Bush.
The former ambassador has either tied or jumped ahead of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for second place behind only Trump in both states, according to recent polling.
Due to the increasing success of the MAGA or Trump Republican apparatus, Haley will need to carefully position herself as a stealth Decepticon and not upset the vulgarian hordes, ie.
As a smart and tactical politician Haley will invest heavily in the optics of supporting the MAGA movement; and embrace President Trump to avoid any conflict.
