Wealthy donors to former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley's now-suspended presidential campaign are flocking to support President Biden's re-election bid.
Businessman and media mogul Harry Sloan — a prominent former backer of Haley's campaign — said during a recent interview with CNBC that he'd undertaken an effort to convince his wealthy friends and Republican business leaders to get behind Biden.
"People I know who are generally business Republicans, they’re going to hear from me," Sloan told the outlet, admitting he had already reached out to a number of people, and planned to eventually host a fundraiser for Biden as the campaign progresses.
One source familiar with the effort told the outlet that at least half a dozen former Haley donors had already signed on to lend the Biden campaign a hand.
According to the report, Biden campaign co-chair Jeffrey Katzenberg, along with campaign finance chair Rufus Gifford, initiated the effort as part of a larger goal of attracting former Haley supporters disenchanted with the idea of former President Donald Trump as the Republican nominee for president for a third time.
When asked about the effort, Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital, "Americans from all backgrounds, including Republicans, Independents and disillusioned Democrats, are coalescing around President Trump and joining the greatest political movement in history so we can end Joe Biden's chaos and make America strong, safe, and successful again."
