Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, a Republican presidential candidate, has picked up support from various GOP megadonors, including prominent fundraising operative Spencer Zwick.
Multiple wealthy GOP donors are looking to back Haley, seeking a fresh face for the Republican Party in 2024 instead of former President Donald Trump.

"Nikki Haley has the vision, the record, and the campaign apparatus to win both the primary and general election," Zwick told Axios. "I'm proud to support her efforts and help her build stronger relationships with donors and business leaders around the country."
Zwick is the co-founder and managing partner at Solamere Capital, a Boston-based private equity firm co-founded by Eric Scheuermann and Tagg Romney, Sen. Mitt Romney's (R-UT) son. Zwick was the national finance chairman and senior adviser to Mitt Romney during his unsuccessful Republican presidential bids. Zwick also backed Romney during his run for the Senate in 2018.
In 2015, Zwick served as the national finance chairman for former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan's political fundraising operation.
Haley has been poaching big donors recently who backed Trump or other Republican candidates.
Haley caught the attention of Stanley Druckenmiller, a billionaire hedge fund manager who had donated to Sen. Tim Scott's (R-SC) reelection campaign and praised Scott's presidential bid before he dropped out of the 2024 race this week. Druckenmiller said recently he would exclusively back Haley, according to CNBC.
Citadel founder Ken Griffin supported Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R-FL) campaign in Florida last year but has yet to endorse a 2024 presidential candidate, hinting this week he would throw his support behind Haley.

"We're at the finish line on that choice," Griffin said when asked about financially backing Haley during an interview with Bloomberg News on Tuesday. "That's a decision that we're actively contemplating."
The Washington Examiner reached out to Haley's campaign for comment.
