Wall Street Megadonors Warm to Nikki Haley

“Nikki Haley’s strong performances in the Republican presidential debates have won over several of the party’s big donors and intrigued other Wall Street figures this week, as she swung through New York seeking moneyed backers who want an alternative to Donald Trump,” the Financial Times reports.

“The former US ambassador to the UN drew big names to New York events on Tuesday, among them a small meet-and-greet breakfast with financiers including BlackRock chief executive Larry Fink, and an evening fundraiser co-hosted by former Goldman Sachs president Gary Cohn.”

“Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller, traditionally a big GOP donor, announced his support on Monday and New York-based donor Eric Levine said he would host a fundraiser for Haley in early December with Elliott Management executive Terry Kassel and Annie Dickerson, who has close ties with Elliott president Paul Singer.”
