Washington: The election campaign of Indian American leader Nikki Haley, who is contesting to become the Republican candidate in the US presidential election, is intensifying.
In fact, many prominent donors to rival groups have decided to support Haley and the leader announced spending US$10 million on television, radio and digital advertisements in Iowa and New Hampshire during the election campaign.
However, former US President Donald Trump remains the most popular leader of the Republican Party. His approval rating is more than 60 percent. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is in second place with about 14 percent, but his popularity has been declining in the last few months.
Earlier his approval rating was more than 30 percent. On the other hand, in the debate to choose the Republican Party candidate, Haley’s popularity is continuously increasing and her approval rating has reached double digits.
Several donors to the opposition group, including Bruce Kovner and Harlan Crow of Caxton Alternative Management, have decided to support Haley. Ken Griffith, who was earlier supporting Tim Scott, has also announced his support to Haley. Encouraged by this, Haley announced that her campaign would spend US$10 million on television, radio and digital advertising in Iowa and New Hampshire.
On a larger level, the purpose of this advertisement is to help former US Ambassador Haley get ahead of Governor DeSantis in the important phase of the party’s candidacy. Haley has taken this step in an attempt to emerge as a clear alternative to former President Donald Trump to represent the Republican Party.
Haley’s campaign manager Betsy Ankney said, “Nikki Haley’s momentum and path to victory are clear.” Arrow can’t buy a cup of coffee at dinner and is just a tourist in South Carolina.
