An alliance of billionaire Republican donors is hosting the presidential campaigns of Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley for an October event where they will vie for consolidated monetary support as the alternative to former President Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican primary.
According to reports, neither DeSantis nor Haley themselves will be at the meeting. Instead, advisers to their campaigns will pitch to the wealthy donors, some of whom have already put some support behind one of the candidates. Another possible complication, according to the New York Times, is the anticipated presence of two people linked to the former president: former Trump adviser and America First Policy Institute President and CEO Brooke Rollins and former Trump-appointed U.S.
The October donor meeting signals that wealthy Republicans now see the race for the non-Trump option as a battle between DeSantis and Haley. DeSantis's primary polling stature has weakened considerably since November 2022, before he entered the 2024 race. Declines in his polling numbers were preceded by reports of turmoil in his campaign. However, his team maintains that national polling is not an accurate depiction of the race as it stands, and he is banking on a strong performance in Iowa's first-in-the-nation Republican caucuses.
