Wall Street Eyes Nikki Haley as Trump Spoiler

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.

How did she get elected twice as governor of SC? May be she was more unknown then.

She’d just be another Bushite.

If I spent a little more time on that word I bet I could make it even more colorful. Maybe add a couple of L’s and a space. (Bull Shite)

As a solid Trump voter, only other candidate who seems to be not part of the swamp is Ramaswamy. My wish is Trump picks him for AG to clean up DOJ and FIB. Ramaswamy has the balls to do what is necessary and the energy of a 38 year old.

She started out rather well. Some needed reforms and brought business to S.C. But that stupid stunt with the Confederate monuments created a landslide which split people. The problem with foreign born people is that they never learn about our history.
