Former Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger have thrown their support behind Nikki Haley for president despite her having almost zero chance of becoming the Republican presidential nominee.
In a post on X, Kinzinger announced he donated $250 to Haley’s campaign after she lost to former President Trump in the New Hampshire primary.
“I just donated $250 to [Haley], I want to make sure I am never invited to that cheap and awful S-hole club called Mar-A-Lago,” Kinzinger wrote.
“I don’t want to catch weak victimitis. I’m Thankful that sweaty Don gave us a way to ban ourselves.”
Literally had no intention of giving to her until that Trump tweet. The more we get in his head the more cortisol in his body the more he cracks

Kinzinger said he had no intention of giving to Haley until Trump announced that he would ban anyone who contributes to Haley from the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
“This is standard in Politics, but no longer with me. Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp,” Trump declared.
“We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!”
Well in that case…donate here. Let’s Go!❤️🇺🇸https://t.co/TjLtIeDHlr

Meanwhile, Liz Cheney also said she would be backing Haley.
“What we watched [Trump] do in the lead up to January 6, his attempt to seize power, presents an existential threat…And right now, Nikki Haley is in this fight [to keep Trump out of office] and I think she ought to stay in it,” said Cheney.

On Friday, big-money donors announced they were jumping ship from Haley’s campaign.
Billionaire LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman was the first to close his wallet on Haley.
Meanwhile, prominent GOP donor Andy Sabin dumped Haley after contributing $1.7 million to GOP campaigns over three cycles.
Sabin explained to Fox News why he needed to get out.
