    Donors who supported Nikki Haley in her Republican primary campaign are set to switch their allegiance to Joe Biden, as he prepares to face Donald Trump in the presidential election later this year.

    Trump was confirmed as the GOP nominee for November's presidential election last week after securing enough delegates across multiple primaries. He looks set to face-off against incumbent Biden in a rematch of the 2020 election.

    https://www.newsweek.com/nikki-haley-donors-donald-trump-change-party-1881276


    ________________________________________

    During the primaries, Trump told Haley's donors he didn't want their money.

    So everyone's happy.

    The donation ratio between Biden and Trump is 2:1.

    Not to mention that Trump's legal fees, which MAGA enthusiastically pay, amount to $4 million a month.... minimum.

    Already, Trump has greatly reduced his travel for rallies, always preferring the places where it costs the least.

    Duplicate, but to summarize: those are just democrats who were donating to hurt trump. They were always going to donate and vote biden, even if haley beat trump.

    Maybe you missed this from the article. I'd say that could turn off about a million Republicans. What a stupid blunder from Trump!

    "Anybody that makes a 'Contribution' to [Haley] from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don't want them, and will not accept them," he wrote on Truth Social on January 24.

    Maybe she can kick rocks and become a Democrat too, or you know.... Just come out and make it official. Democrats love them some warmongers nowadays.

    How many whom the article claim are set to switch have actually made contributions to the Biden campaign. There are no confirmed switches in the article.

    Surprising no one.

    Her support only ever came from NeverTrumpers who also don't like Biden very much.

    The donation ratio discrepency is because Biden is now the corporate pick and Trump is the populist pick.

    If only we'd gotten the money out of politics, eh? ;)

    This is essentially an endorsement of Trump. It certainly is not an endorsement of Biden.

    He was talking to Never Trump or Democrat Haley donors who may or may not have voted for Haley in a general election against Biden.

    Here's the post from Trump. Doesn't seem out-of-context to me. "Anybody who makes a Contribution" means "Anybody".

    “Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp,” Trump wrote. “We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!”

    Nikki Haley Donors Switch to Joe Biden Over Donald Trump

    That is an illogical approach. In other words they want to send money to whom they think will win rather that who they wish to win. Or they just hate trump. If so then there is no need to waste their money. Of course I think giving money to politicians is a waste of money at a basic level.

    Is it really impossible for you to understand that for them Biden is a better alternative than Trump?

    Trump is ahead in every single swing state, Nikki Haley or not. And, every betting venue shows a Trump win.

    When is the election?

    Because in 2022, my Republican friends on this forum have predicted a red tsunami.

    Two years before, they were all convinced Trump would get a second term.

    Taking a poll and voting are two completely different things.

    Because its bullshit. The donor "switchers" are just democrats who supported haley in primary elections to hurt trump. They were never going to vote for any republican in the general election. This is just another leftwing propaganda piece.

    Elections are often more about prestidigitation than democracy.

    Haley’s former donors are part of the Establishment. They would have won with Haley or Biden elected.

    Biden’s promise of paying college debt at the last minute bought him votes. And the Russian Collusion hoax cost Trump his second term. I believe this time around both those proven lies will cost Democrats in a big way.
