Haley campaign says it hauled in $24M in fourth-quarter fundraising

Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign announced Wednesday that the former United Nations ambassador and GOP rival to former President Trump hauled in $24 million in the most recent fundraising quarter.

Haley’s campaign said 83,900 new donors contributed to her between October and December, and that she ended the final fundraising quarter of 2023 with $14.5 million in the bank.

Overall, 180,000 people have donated to her campaign since Haley launched her White House bid, and she has raked in $50 million between all three of her campaign committees.

Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, another key rival for Haley, have not yet announced their campaign hauls for the final fundraising quarter of 2023. The quarter ended Dec. 31; candidates have until Jan. 31 to file their campaign finance reports. 

During the third quarter of fundraising, Haley’s campaign took in more than $11 million between all three of her campaign committees, while DeSantis raised $15 million, including $13.5 million from his campaign itself.

However, DeSantis could only use $5 million of that during the primary, and Haley had $9.1 million ready to use in the primary.  

By comparison, Trump’s campaign raked in more than triple what DeSantis and Haley brought in during the third quarter, raising $45 million and having a whopping $37.5 million in the bank — nearly all of which could be used in the primary.

Haley's latest fundraising haul comes as Republicans are looking to narrow the field, with Trump still leading her and DeSantis in early-state polling and national surveys alike.
