Backers of Republican former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley are spending big in New Hampshire and Iowa, hoping to jumpstart momentum to push her over other challengers for second place in the GOP nomination race and in a strong position to force a confrontation with Donald Trump, Reuters reports.
A pro-Haley Super PAC called SFA Fund Inc. has already spent $21 million, more than twice that of Trump’s MAGA Inc. Super PAC. (“MAGA Inc.” is really the official name of a Trump-supporting Super PAC as if it’s not clear that it’s just a money-making machine.) The SFA Fund is made up of business titans like former WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, who is considered a Democratic mega-donor.
