He does not want anyone supporting his opponent.
In a recent announcement made on Truth Social, the platform associated with former President Donald Trump, there was a notable threat issued against supporters contributing to Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign. President Trump explicitly stated that those who support Haley’s campaign would face blacklisting and a permanent exclusion from the MAGA camp. However, Trump’s statement left some ambiguity, as it did not specify whether this warning applied exclusively to direct donations to Haley’s campaign or extended to contributions made to a pro-Haley political action committee. Despite this lack of clarity, the message carried unmistakable implications.
In response to this challenge, Nikki Haley demonstrated resilience by leveraging social media, particularly platform X, to encourage people to contribute to her candidacy despite Trump’s warning. Adding a touch of humor, she dismissed the threat, saying, “Well in that case…donate here. Let’s Go!” accompanied by a link to a fundraising site. Both the Trump and Haley campaigns refrained from offering further comments on the matter.
Verified sources confirmed that Nikki Haley is scheduled to attend various Wall Street fundraisers in New York City on Monday and Tuesday. Despite Trump’s warning, Haley remains steadfast in her pursuit of the presidential bid, highlighting her fundraising success since Trump’s projected win in New Hampshire. While the claim of raising $1 million in the 24 hours following the New Hampshire primary remains unverified due to the absence of Federal Election Commission data for that period, Haley appears undeterred.
An analysis of financial disclosures from FEC filings reveals a marked contrast in the financial positions of the two campaigns. Trump’s campaign concluded the third quarter of 2023 with a substantial sum of over $37 million in funds, whereas Haley’s campaign closed the same quarter with a figure exceeding $11 million. This financial snapshot, covering the period from July through September, underscores a significant divergence in resources between the two contenders.
