Nikki Haley campaign pitches donors on 'fight for freedom' against Trump
Nikki Haley's campaign manager told GOP donors Tuesday that her primary fight against Donald Trump is a battle for the future of the GOP and the country.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley's campaign manager told GOP donors Tuesday that her primary fight against former President Donald Trump is a battle for the future of the Republican Party and the country.
“This is a fight for freedom,” campaign manager Betsy Ankney said at a briefing with the American Opportunity Alliance, a consortium of GOP megadonors, according to a source familiar with the campaign’s presentation.
Ankney also warned that nominating Trump could cost the GOP not just the White House but control of Congress, as well.
It's as stark as any language yet from the Haley campaign to set the stakes of her battle against Trump, who won the party's first two presidential nominating contests, in Iowa and New Hampshire, and has shown no signs of slowing down.
Trump is set to pick up more delegates next week thanks to Nevada's split nominating contests, because he is the only major candidate competing in the state's caucuses. Haley and Trump will face off later this month in South Carolina, where Trump is the heavy favorite despite Haley's experience as governor in her home state.
