"Billionaire Ken Langone Considers Backing Nikki Haley for 2024 Presidential Run"

Billionaire Ken Langone, co-founder of Home Depot, plans to meet with former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley in New York as he considers backing her in the Republican presidential primary. Langone believes Haley is the only person who can challenge former President Donald Trump. He had previously supported Florida Governor Ron DeSantis but soured on him after DeSantis signed a six-week abortion ban bill. Langone's interest in backing Haley has been growing, and if he decides to support her, he would join a growing list of Republican financiers aligning themselves with her. Haley's campaign is relying on a strong showing in her home state of South Carolina and potentially securing an endorsement from New Hampshire Republican Governor Chris Sununu.
