Trump 2024: In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump issued a stern warning, stating that individuals who contribute to Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign will face severe consequences.
Trump took to Truth Social to convey his message, declaring that those who make donations to Haley’s campaign will be permanently banned from the MAGA camp. He emphasized that such individuals are not wanted nor will they be accepted.
However, it remains unclear whether Trump’s warning solely pertains to contributions made directly to Haley’s campaign or if it extends to donations given to a pro-Haley political action committee.
In response to Trump’s statement, Haley took to X and encouraged people to support her candidacy by providing a link to a fundraising site. She expressed her determination by stating, “Well in that case…donate here. Let’s Go!”
The Trump and Haley campaigns have not provided any immediate response to requests for further comment, as confirmed by NBC News. It has been reported that Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, will be present in New York City on Monday and Tuesday for several fundraisers on Wall Street, as stated by two sources from her campaign.
Haley, who has expressed her determination to continue in the race, has been highlighting her fundraising achievements since Trump’s projected victory in New Hampshire. She announced on Wednesday that she raised $1 million within 24 hours following the New Hampshire primary, a figure that her campaign has reiterated.
However, NBC News is unable to independently verify this claim as the Federal Election Commission has not yet released data for that specific period. According to FEC filings, Trump’s campaign ended the third quarter of 2023 with over $37 million in available funds, while Haley’s campaign concluded the quarter with over $11 million. The third quarter spanned from July through September.
