Soon after former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley announced Wednesday she would vote for former President Donald Trump this November, the Biden campaign held a virtual meeting with her supporters on that very evening.
Several Haley supporters, including some of her former state leadership team and members of the "Women for Nikki" coalition, joined the call from across the country. The meeting was arranged by Richard Schwartz, the executive director of the anti-Trump Haley Voters Working Group.
The deputy political director of the Biden campaign, Juan Peñalosa, joined the call to stress how important the Haley coalition's support would be to defeating Trump and addressed the differences Haley supporters have with Mr. Biden, according to Schwartz. He said that while some of Haley's voters might be open to voting for the president, there are strong policy disagreements.
President Biden on Monday signed into law a defense bill that authorizes significant pay raises for junior enlisted service members, aims to counter China's growing power and boosts overall military spending to $895 billion despite his objections to language stripping coverage of transgender medical treatments for children in military families.

An anti-money laundering law called the Corporate Transparency Act, or CTA, appears to have been given new life after an appeals court on Monday determined its rules can be enforced as the case proceeds. The law requires small business owners to register with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, by Jan. 1, or potentially pay fines of up to $10,000.
