Nikki Haley voters PAC announces support for Kamala Harris
Nikki Haley voters PAC announces support for Kamala Harris
A PAC of Nikki Haley voters announced their support for Kamala Harris' presidential bid on Sunday after Biden announced he was dropping out of this year's race.
IMO a slimey headline which obscures a detail:
Just to clarify, we are not the Nikki Haley affiliated PAC.
And Nikki herself has disavowed it.

Say what you will about it, the intention to me seems to be associating support for Haley with support for Biden (and now Harris), which is basically a lie.
I think you are being a bit too harsh.
The point is that a PAC that used to raise money for, and support, Nikki Haley now supports Harris.
Which conceivably indicates that some of the Haley voters will switch to Harris.
That is newsworthy and it doesn't mean that Haley endorses Harris.
The point is that a PAC that used to raise money for, and support, Nikki Haley now supports Harris.
This is technically true but doesn't tell the whole story either:

One of those groups, Primary Pivot, is run by Robert Schwartz, a liberal activist who has spent his career countering democratic backsliding in countries across Latin America... “We only care about damaging Donald Trump,” said Schwartz. “For better or for worse, the only thing you can do if you really want to stop Trump is to vote for Haley.”
The explicit goal was to get "Democratic voters to switch their party affiliation to undeclared," and "to persuading already undeclared voters to vote in the Republican primary for Haley."
There's nothng illegal about this or anything.
But to me, the headline is implying that "a pro Haley PAC is now supporting Harris," which is not true. It was never realy pro Haley, it was just anti Trump, and this switch to Harris is not unexpected in the slightest like the headline would lead you to believe. Not like "Conservative PAC now supporting Harris."
That’s why you are supposed to read the article itself and not headlines lol
It does say voters in the headline.
As a SC resident, where she was our Governor, I could tell something was off 😆
