Nikki Haley Gains Momentum as Top Contender to Challenge Trump in GOP Primaries
Top political donors are increasingly viewing Nikki Haley as a viable candidate to challenge Donald Trump in the GOP presidential primaries. Despite Trump's dominance in national and state polling, some donors, including those who were hesitant to support Trump in the past, are rallying behind Haley's campaign and urging others to do the same. Haley has impressed business leaders with her policy knowledge, and some Republican institutional leaders and financial backers are looking for a next-generation leader to move the party past the tumultuous Trump years. While Trump remains a formidable force, there is a growing belief among donors that his nomination can be stopped, and Haley's polling surge among GOP voters is contributing to this sentiment.
