Publishing timestamp: 2023-11-27 13:58:12
Summary
Ken Langone, co-founder of Home Depot, plans to meet with Nikki Haley in New York and is considering backing her in the Republican presidential primary. Langone believes that Haley is the only person who can give Donald Trump a run for his money. He had previously supported Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis but soured on him after he signed a six-week abortion ban bill. Langone wants to meet with Haley before committing to hosting a fundraiser for her. Haley's campaign is gaining momentum and she is seen as the strongest alternative to Trump. Langone's net worth is over $7 billion and he is friends with Stanley Druckenmiller, another Wall Street supporter of Haley. Haley's campaign is relying on a strong showing in her home state of South Carolina and potentially securing an endorsement from New Hampshire Republican Gov. Chris Sununu.
