Haley Campaign Press Release - Reason #50,000,000 Trump Won't Beat Biden: His PAC Spent $50M on Legal Fees

"With Trump spending all his campaign money and time on court cases and chaos, we can expect to add 2024 to the list. America deserves a better choice. Nikki Haley is focused on making America strong and proud and making Joe Biden a one-term president."
