Another in-kind contribution from Nikki Haley to Donald Trump, as she continues lining herself up to be his VP.
Some of the biggest beneficiaries of the Haley SuperPAC's spending have been Donald Trump's lawyers.
With SFA Fund doing the heavy lifting lately, MAGA Inc. has spent just ~ $557K in the last month, freeing up cash that can be refunded to Trump's Save America to cover legal fees

True, but that race was very much run around healthcare. This race wasn’t fought on tax reform or other pending major legislation. Brown’s election also fundamentally changed the Senate dynamic by giving R’s the power to filibuster. This race doesn’t. So expect no vote delays.
