"Nikki Haley's Feud with Trump: Billionaire Investor's Response and Upstate Rally Analysis"

Billionaire investor Clifford Asness defended his fundraising for Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley after Donald Trump vowed to bar her donors from the "MAGA camp," stating that he may have to contribute more now if past contributions don't qualify him for being "barred." Asness, along with other Wall Street billionaires, is co-hosting a fundraiser for Haley in New York, aiming to boost her long-shot campaign ahead of the primary election in South Carolina. Despite Trump's lead in national polls, donors have been flocking to Haley, with her supporting fund raising $50.1 million in the last six months of 2023, outraising the Trump campaign's super PAC by about $5 million.
