The Republican presidential race has two Indian-Americans — Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy
Washington: Indian-American Nikki Haley has raised more than USD 1 million in less than 72 hours after last week’s maiden Republican presidential primary debate, her campaign said on Monday, August 28, noting that this is a sign of “real momentum” to her race.
“Nikki Haley’s post-debate momentum is real and growing,” her campaign said after Haley addressed a large rally in South Carolina on Monday.
“This afternoon, South Carolinians came out in droves to Haley’s town hall in Indian Land, SC. The crowd was so big, Haley stopped by not one, not two, but three overflow rooms to greet voters,” it said.
Addressing the gathering, Haley said the partnership between China and Russia is “an axis of evil.” China, she said, has been planning war with America for years, and that’s not being dramatic.
“I think in the first 72 hours, we raised a million dollars. We’ve had thousands of people volunteer. We’ve had a lot of people join the campaign. The phones are still ringing,” Haley told Fox News Digital in an interview.
Popularity of Haley, a former South Carolina governor, has gone up after the maiden presidential primary debate last week.

Eminem asks Indian-American Ramaswamy not to use his music
Meanwhile another report says US rapper Eminem has asked Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, a multimillionaire and former biotech executive, not to use his music during his presidential campaign, according to a letter disclosed on Monday.
In the letter dated August 23, which was reported first by the Daily Mail, BMI, a performing rights organisation, informed Ramaswamy’s campaign at the rapper’s request that it will no longer license Eminem’s music for use by Ramaswamy’s campaign.
Ramaswamy’s campaign told CNN it would comply with the request to stop using Eminem’s music.
The 38-year-old tech entrepreneur was at the centre of many of last week’s first Republican primary debate’s most dramatic moments.
