Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley speaks at a campaign stop in Elgin, South Carolina, U.S., February 12, 2024.
As Nikki Haley falls behind Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary, something strange is happening: Many of her donors are sticking with her.
"Even if she doesn't win, I feel right in doing this," said the donor, who was granted anonymity to speak freely.
That Reagan wing, which stands in contrast to the isolationist foreign policy and protectionist economics that define Trump's brand of populism, "isn't going away," the fundraiser said.
Paul Levy, a founder of private equity firm JLL Partners and a Haley donor, said he and other donors like him believe she represents the Reagan wing of the GOP.
