GOP Wall Street Donors Look To Nikki Haley as DeSantis Fades
Long before the 2024 election was ever in the mindset of voters, we pointed out the specific moves the people who control Nikki Haley were taking in 2018. It wasn’t difficult to predict because Haley followed the Bush plan to an exacting measure.
The Bush plan, is the five-year roadmap that modern republican consultants use to position their principal in the approved republican lane. This ‘Five-Year Plan was the same historic approach done for Ronald Reagan. With a candidate in the private sector, the professional donor-class make investments in the candidate while it is legal to do so. The investments are made in anticipation of future influence. This is simply how money influences politics.
It is not coincidental that it was also 2018, when DeSantis exited his congressional seat to establish the 2024 agenda. The U.N as an institution is also in alignment with the highbrow Prescott Bush clan. Ms. Nikki Haley is regarded by this clan as a very valuable commodity. As I said in 2018, “if they can’t get Jeb, or another Bush (i.e. DeSantis) over the finish line, they will be much better positioned with investments in Nikki Haley.”
To be sure, for the voters this is an impossible lift, but the RNC/RGA donor class do not regard the voters as part of the equation. For too many years they have assembled the illusion of choice, and they are still stuck in that paradigm. They did not feel threatened by the Tea Party, and they quite simply do not understand the larger MAGA movement.
The billionaires feel ‘above the fray‘ in their sheeple constructs; and remember, for them Newsom is just fine too.
Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley appears to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ faltering campaign, with more donors saying they are looking more closely at her candidacy as an alternative to frontrunner Donald Trump.
Reuters spoke to four donors and one source close to a major donor who were impressed by the former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in the first Republican presidential debate in August and said they were keen to donate should she continue to strengthen as a candidate.
They will be watching to see how she does at the second debate in California on Wednesday night among those vying to win the party’s nomination to run for president in the 2024 election.
DeSantis, once seen as the most formidable challenger to former President Trump, has struggled to catch fire amid missteps and relentless Trump attacks on his candidacy. Despite his campaign’s struggles he has retained the support of some major donors.
Donors are crucial to keeping White House hopefuls afloat, and the willingness of some to now look beyond DeSantis underscores his struggle to convince donors that he is the best alternative to Trump. It also shows the despair of some Republican establishment donors looking for a viable candidate who is not Trump.
Of the five donors looking at Haley, three have so far broadly sat out the campaign while one has donated to DeSantis and another was supportive of him but did not donate. Reuters also spoke to a half dozen Haley donors, advisers to donors, and even supporters of other candidates who said more donors are looking at Haley. (read more)

“I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.” (link)
