Wall Street Eyes Nikki Haley as Trump Spoiler
Wall Street Journal ^ | Nov. 18, 2023 8:00 am ET | Cara Lombardo and AnnaMaria Andriotis

Big hitters on Wall Street are lining up to support Nikki Haley’s long-shot bid to snatch the 2024 Republican presidential nomination from Donald Trump.

“There’s a desperate, desperate hunt for anybody but Trump,” said one of the roughly 30 senior executives The Wall Street Journal spoke with to gauge the mood of the finance set roughly a year ahead of the election.

While Wall Street’s die-hard Democrats are sticking with President Biden, many other financiers have been casting about for an alternative to Trump, the former president they see as too unpredictable among other concerns. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s clash with Walt Disney and stilted public appearances hurt his standing, while Virginia Democrats’ statewide victories this month quashed the idea of Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (and former Carlyle Group co-CEO) jumping into the race.

Attention on Haley, a former South Carolina governor and Trump’s former U.N. ambassador, intensified after Sen. Tim Scott’s (R., S.C.) unexpected exit Sunday.

Haley, queen of Neocons and Chamber of Commerce. She has no chance to overtake Trump. Finishing 2nd in primaries has no award.

Wall Street is politically tone deaf. Clueless, actually.

Not legitimately, but she’s a perfect alternative for the RINO/neocon/globalist class.

You would try think Wall Street types could read a poll and understand the impossible odds.

She’s well funded. I’ve gotten much Spam from her campaign. It’s all a waste of time and money.

You think so? I think she’d beat Biden. Latest polls show her up 10 over him. She might lose. She wouldn’t get trounced.

I could see Jews and never Trumpers forming a third party. I think Jews in the Democrat party is over. They’re going to need to find a new home.

Yes, I'm sure they do.

Hope they have their bags packed.

"Hilarious. If she is the candidate, I stay home."

I've said the same thing, but instead, would cross her out, and write Trump's name in, even if he was dead. I may just write Trump's name in on every Presidential ballot until the day I die.

The same Wall St that eagerly swallows DEI, ESG and whatever else the left throws at them? I’ll give their advice all the consideration it deserves.

Two very very short must watch videos. The narrative is completely destroyed.
