A meeting of top donors and bundlers in New York discussed how to win over the anti-Trump vote.
Top Biden campaign officials told a gathering of donors on Friday that the campaign believes it can win over a significant portion of Nikki Haley voters — and that it can do so by emphasizing the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy.
Biden campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon made the case during a meeting put together by the Biden National Finance Committee in New York City. In her presentation, O’Malley Dillon argued that results out of state Republican primaries — where some voters backed Haley even though she had dropped out of the presidential race — was proof that Haley supporters were getable, according to three people who were in the room and were granted anonymity to discuss a private meeting.
O’Malley Dillon also showed Democratic donors and bundlers a newly released digital ad, which spliced together footage of former Trump mocking Haley and rejecting her supporters.
“If you voted for Nikki Haley, Donald Trump doesn’t want your vote,” the ad says. “Save America. Join us.”
Wooing Haley and anti-Trump voters — and their growing importance within the Biden strategy to regain a lead over Trump in the polls — dovetails with the Biden campaign’s broader messaging strategy to center democracy and the threats, they say, Trump poses to it. Members of Biden’s finance team have also made private overtures to Haley donors, though they were not discussed during Friday’s meeting.
