Two prominent Haley donors to pull funding after Trump New Hampshire win

SRN NEWS

A prominent donor to Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley will stop funding her campaign, declaring that former President Donald Trump has effectively won the party’s nominating race after he defeated Haley in New Hampshire.

Metals magnate Andy Sabin said in an interview late on Wednesday that the Republican race was now essentially over. Trump has a prohibitive lead in national opinion polls.

“Haley needs to drop out,” Sabin said. “Regardless of what anyone tells you, her money is going to dry up. Why would you fund someone who you know has no chance?”

Trump’s back-to-back wins in the Iowa and New Hampshire contests have made his march to the Republican nomination almost certain as he looks ahead to a likely general election rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden in November.
