Donors who supported Nikki Haley in her Republican primary campaign are set to switch their allegiance to Joe Biden, as he prepares to face Donald Trump in the presidential election later this year.

Trump was confirmed as the GOP nomineefor November’s presidential election last week after securing enough delegates across multiple primaries. He looks set to face-off against incumbent Biden in a rematch of the 2020 election.

Haley, the former South Carolina governor, dropped out of the primary race earlier this month in the wake of Super Tuesday. Media mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg called Harry Sloan, who had previously helped bring in at least $550,000 for Haley through fundraising receptions, and asked him to donate to Biden instead. He has also donated to Democrats in the past and gave $100,000 to a pro-Biden political action committee, Future Forward, last year.

    Besides, there’s less than a hair’s breadth between Haley and Biden politically.

    This is just fundamentally not the case

      tbf, they do look the same if you approach it from either the position of abolishing capitalism, or of instituting fascism. Since they both would strongly oppose that.

        “To be fair they both oppose these two really extreme positions” is a pretty low bar of commonality
