Megadonors to Drop Nikki Haley Before South Carolina Primary
Breitbart ^ | 1/25/24 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 01/25/2024 12:32:29 PM PST by cotton1706

The donor class began to cut off all future funding of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s campaign after she lost the critical Republican primary in New Hampshire, multiple advisers to political megadonors told the Washington Post Wednesday.

The desertions represent the beginning of the end for Haley’s ability to remain in the race. Haley was the donor class’s choice candidate to block former President Donald Trump, but after his historic victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, Haley’s financial backers apparently see the writing on the wall.

Democrat billionaire donor Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, paused donations to pro-Haley PACs. “We invested in Governor Haley when we thought she had a shot of winning. I’d need to see a new case, with new evidence, to persuade me that more money could help her win now,” Hoffman adviser Dmitri Mehlhorn told the Wall Street Journal.

Metal magnate Andy Sabin also ended his financial support for the former South Carolina governor. “You have to know when to hold them. You got to know when to fold them. You got to know when to walk away. It’s time for Nikki Haley to walk away,” Sabin told Fox Business host Neil Cavuto, referencing Kenny Rogers’ hit song “The Gambler.”

Could also be be because Trump posted this yesterday:

Nikki “Birdbrain” Haley is very bad for the Republican Party and, indeed, our Country. Her False Statements, Derogatory Comments, and Humiliating Public Loss, is demeaning to True American Patriots. Her anger should be aimed at her Third Rate Political Consultants and, more importantly, Crooked Joe Biden and those that are destroying our Country - NOT THE PEOPLE WHO WILL SAVE IT. I knew Nikki well, she was average at best, is not the one to take on World Leaders, and she never did. That was up to me, and that is why they respected the United States. When I ran for Office and won, I noticed that the losing Candidate’s “Donors” would immediately come to me, and want to “help out.” This is standard in Politics, but no longer with me. Anybody that makes a “Contribution” to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!

Were fools to think she could win in the first place.

When your plan to “WIN” as a republican, is to convince the democrats to vote for you in the Primary.... YOU AIN’T WINNING!

Oh it was easily around a 1/4 of a Billion... and probably close to that was spent on Desantis as well... over the last year.

Yes, billionaires like Presidential access. If they stop funding her, she's out in a week.

Only way she was sticking around through South Carolina (where she will lose by 30 points in her home state) would be if the establishment promised her some HUGE payoffs to do so.

That’s a humiliation you don’t recover from, at least not in elected politics. Any ambition for national elected office is DONE when you get bitch slapped that hard.... about the only federal elected position she could have a shot at after that might be a congressional district.

Watching the Bush Ear GOP just refuse to accept reality is fascinating.

What you witnessing right now with MAGA is a bloodless revolution.. the powers that be are going to fight it with everything they have, but that’s really what you are seeing.
