Haley Super PAC Says It Raised $50.1 Million, Eclipsing Trump

The main super PAC backing Nikki Haley said Thursday that it had raised $50.1 million in the second half of 2023, a hefty sum that eclipses the amount brought in by the leading super PAC backing former President Donald J. Trump.

The group, SFA Fund Inc., provided the figure to The New York Times but did not offer additional details about its finances. Detailed filings are due with the Federal Election Commission on Jan. 31, and will lay out all of the fund-raising and spending the group did between July 1 and Dec. 31.

The Trump-aligned super PAC, MAGA Inc., said Thursday that it had raised more than $46 million in the second half of 2023.

In all of 2023, SFA Fund Inc. — short for Stand for America Fund — raised $68.9 million. It is not clear how much the group has on hand, but it spent tens of millions of dollars on advertising and independent expenditures in recent months, records show.

While the haul by Ms. Haley’s super PAC shows how donors flocked to her as the Republican field consolidated late last year, it is unclear if she can sustain that financial strength in a two-person race against Mr. Trump. He beat her handily in the first two contests in Iowa and New Hampshire this month, but she has vowed to continue her campaign for the nomination.
