Wall Street titans are getting behind Nikki Haley in the presidential race—hedge funder Bill Ackman says it's time for Biden to 'step aside'
Read Original Source
Some of the biggest names on Wall Street are putting their money behind Nikki Haley for the 2024 presidential election, believing the former South Carolina governor offers the best shot at fending off former president Donald Trump, who remains the GOP front-runner. “There are many on Wall Street who are not excited about the possible return of Donald Trump to the White House,” said Michael Beckel, research director at Issue One, a nonprofit that seeks to reduce the role of money in politics.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Wall Street donors are lining up behind Nikki Haley as a stronger alternative to Donald Trump, while Bill Ackman says President Joe Biden should step aside.
Key Points:
- Big finance figures see Haley as better for business because she supports lower spending, lower taxes, and tighter control of inflation and debt.
- JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Citadel founder Ken Griffin, and Home Depot cofounder Ken Langone have all signaled support for Haley.
- The Koch-linked Americans for Prosperity Foundation also said it will back Haley, giving her campaign a major boost.
- Ackman argued that Biden is past his prime and said Haley could do better than Trump in a general election, though polls still show Trump ahead in the GOP race.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Wall Street money may push the race toward candidates favored by big donors, not ordinary voters, and a Trump-Biden rematch could keep political stress high for households and markets.
Positive Impact
Haley’s focus on lower inflation, less debt, and business-friendly rules could help consumers and small businesses if her plans are adopted.
