Haley campaign claims it raised $1.2 million since Trump threatened donors

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- According to the Nikki Haley for President campaign, the former South Carolina Governor has raised $2.6 million since the polls closed in New Hampshire on Tuesday, $1.2 million pf which has come in since former President Donald Trump took to social media and threatened Haley's donors with a lifetime ban from the 'MAGA' community on Wednesday. 

"When I ran for Office and won, I noticed that the losing Candidate's 'Donors' would immediately come to me, and want to 'help out.' This is standard in Politics, but no longer with me." Trump wrote. "Anybody that makes a 'Contribution' to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp."

Haley lost both the caucuses in Iowa and the first primary in New Hampshire by double-digits but pledged to remain in the race. 

Haley responded on X, formally known as Twitter, saying, "Well in that case…donate here. Let’s Go!" with a link to a donation site. 

“Donald Trump’s threats highlight the stark choice in this election: personal vendettas or real conservative leadership,” said Haley spokesperson AnnMarie Graham-Barnes. “Trump’s scheme blew up in his face. The contributions to the Haley campaign are pouring in—proof that people are sick of the drama and are rallying behind Nikki’s vision for a strong and proud America.”
