The former South Carolina governor is drawing support from Trump-skeptical donors and activists in early nominating states.
Haley’s campaign events in New Hampshire this week required overflow rooms. And in Iowa — where Haley has steeper competition from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis some conservatives are busy corralling support for her.
“Nikki Haley is certainly locking up a lot of the Never Trumpers,” said Matthew Bartlett, a Republican operative who has worked on several presidential campaigns and is unaffiliated this cycle. “She also has real room to grow.”
“It’s a lot of the old-school Republicans who did not like Trump, but voted for him the first time with their fingers crossed, and then refused to vote for him a second time,” Sarah Longwell, an anti-Trump Republican who routinely conducts focus groups of GOP voters, said of Haley’s sweet spot in the primary electorate.

Can a political figure's change of stance, like moving from supportive to critical of another politician, affect your trust in their sincerity or decision-making?
@9H65JXP6mos6MO
This question is timeless and very relevant to every election - unlike the many questions here about settled political issues like NAFTA (Replaced), the Dakota Access Pipeline (Dead, last I heard), and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (Dead).
Disagreeing with @9H5WV7Y61%, on the extremely small chance that that comment influenced this website's decision making process.
@9H5WV7Y6mos6MO
This question is no longer relevant and should be removed.

A month from now these donors will announce they aren't really "with" Trump, but are just letting him insert the tip.
@KnowledgeCockatoo6mos6MO
Donors are at least switching to a candidate already in the race as their savior instead of fantasizing about a guy like Youngkin jumping in to save them. I guess that’s progress.
