Presidential Candidate, Nikki Haley's campaign made a big announcement Wednesday, stating that it has raised a whopping $24 million.
The Hill reported the following "Haley's campaign said 83,900 new donors contributed to her between October and December and that she ended the final fundraising quarter of 2023 with $14.5 million in the bank. Overall, 180,000 people have donated to her campaign since Haley launched her White House bid, and she has raked in $50 million between all three of her campaign committees"
As for her competition, Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump, both have also made some progress. The Hill reported, in the same piece, that during the third quarter of fundraising, DeSantis raised $15 million in addition to $13.5 million from his campaign itself. But, The Hill also reports that DeSantis "Could only use $5 million of that during the primary and Haley had $9.1 million ready to use in the primary".
However, Trump's campaign has pulled in $45 million during the third quarter on top of the $37.5 million in the bank with The Hill reporting "Nearly all of which could be used in the primary" in addition to him leading in both "early-state and national surveys". Also, both he and DeSantis haven't announced their final campaign earnings for the final quarter of this round of fundraising.
What Is Next For Haley?
Despite all of this, Haley stands strong amongst the looming competition even receiving an endorsement from the Koch network, known for their wealth and production of various goods and refine oil, along with a growing pool of doners Haley can still find a way to make significant strides in her race to the White House even if she stumbles along the way.
It was only earlier in the week, Haley was criticized for an answer she gave concerning the role slavery played during the Civil War. No doubt that will be a subject of conversation in the GOP debate next week where she'll share the stage with DeSantis.
Trump, however, has decided to skip this debate opting out and instead deciding to participate in a Fox Townhall. Both of these will air next week on January 10th, 2024.
