Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is having the last laugh after former President Donald Trump threatened anyone who contributed to her campaign.

An email from the Haley campaign stated that despite Trump’s vow that anyone who gave money to the former UN Ambassador would be “permanently barred from the MAGA camp,” Haley raked in $2.6 million after the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday:

The Nikki Haley for President campaign announced a $2.6 million fundraising haul since New Hampshire polls closed on Tuesday, January 23. That includes $1.2 million raised from small-dollar and digital donations after Trump’s unhinged pledge to “permanently bar” any individual who contributed to Haley’s campaign.

“Donald Trump’s threats highlight the stark choice in this election: personal vendettas or real conservative leadership,” said Haley spokesperson Ann Marie Graham-Barnes. “Trump’s scheme blew up in his face. The contributions to the Haley campaign are pouring in — proof that people are sick of the drama and are rallying behind Nikki’s vision for a strong and proud America.

Trump has been railing against Haley since she became the last candidate standing against him in the GOP primary. While Haley still came in a distant second in New Hampshire, her campaign and supporters celebrated her showing and defied the Republican National Committee by staying in the race.
