WASHINGTON: Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley took in $26 million in the second quarter, including $7.3 million in direct donations, demonstrating support from donors, despite consistently declining poll numbers.
The Haley-supporting super PAC, Stand For America Fund Inc. , 18.7 million dollars from April through June, bringing its total total to 26 million dollars .
The $7.3 million in direct donations announced by her campaign Monday was well below the fundraisers announced by Florida’s governor last week. Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump, two of Haley’s rivals for the Republican nomination.
However, these overall numbers indicate that Haley has the financial backing to continue running in a crowded Republican field.
The Trump campaign said last week it raised more than $35 million in the second quarter, as small dollar donors poured money into the former president’s bid even though he faces two indictments. DeSantis’ campaign has raised more than $20 million. Both have yet to report second quarter totals from their super PACs.
Campaigns are required to submit detailed information on fund totals and expenditures to the Federal Election Commission by July 15. The numbers will be the first detailed look at campaign finances and indicate which Republicans have the support of key GOP supporters and the finances. To be viable candidates.
Haley, a former governor of South Carolina, served as a UN ambassador under Trump but has criticized him since becoming a candidate, particularly over his stance on Ukraine. She also attacked DeSantis for being an “echo” of Trump’s attitudes and behaviors. Haley is seen as a more moderate alternative to both Trump and DeSantis and has support in the business community.
Trump remains the top choice for Republicans, with 53% support of voters in the RealClearPolitics average of national polls. DeSantis is the only other candidate in the poll with double digits, at 20.9%. Haley’s poll average is 3.6%, which puts her in fourth place behind former Vice President Mike Pence.
Haley was the first Republican to announce a challenge to Trump, which gave her more time than many of her rivals to fundraise. Her campaign said she has $9.3 million in cash on hand, while the Super PAC has $17 million in the bank.
