Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has not revealed how much money she raised in the first week and a half since launching her White House bid, marking a break from the traditional strategy that sees candidates touting those numbers as a sign of political strength.
Haley’s campaign said they are “enormously pleased” with the money it has raised since the former South Carolina governor announced her White House run on Feb. 15. However, spokespeople for the Republican candidate said they would wait until April 15 to release a figure showing the full quarter’s haul.The move has raised some eyebrows among political strategists, as candidates typically like to use those initial numbers to brag about their campaign’s strength.
In the meantime, Haley’s decision could prompt concerns among prospective donors as they watch the growing primary field for which candidates offer the strongest fundraising prowess. Both Republicans are popular among South Carolina voters, and some donors have already said they’d wait until Scott makes a decision before they decide who to back, according to the Associated Press.
Although Scott has not declared whether he intends to run for president, the South Carolina senator benefits from a massive campaign war chest and fundraising strength that could give him a boost over his possible challengers.
