LinkedIn Co-Founder Reid Hoffman Donates $250,000 to Nikki Haley Super PAC

Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and a known Democratic mega-donor, has made a significant donation to a super PAC supporting former South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley's potential bid for the White House. The donation, amounting to $250,000, was made to SFA Fund Inc., a top Haley-aligned super PAC. This contribution has been confirmed by a political adviser to Hoffman.

Hoffman has previously stated that his first priority is to defeat former President Donald Trump, and while he supports Joe Biden, he has also provided financial support to Haley's super PAC. This move has drawn criticism from Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' campaign, who claim that Haley is being supported by 'Democrat billionaires.'

The SFA Fund Inc., a pro-Haley committee, has reportedly spent over $33 million to support Haley in the 2024 Republican primary. Haley's primary opponents have also criticized the donation, labeling her as a liberal and a puppet of the bipartisan establishment.

Hoffman's donation has not been without controversy. He has faced criticism for his past dealings with notorious pedophile Jeffery Epstein. Additionally, Hoffman has been scrutinized for financing a group that spread anti-Republican misinformation during a 2017 Senate election in Alabama. This involved creating fake Facebook pages intended to split conservative voters and using automated social media accounts to give the illusion that the Republican nominee was being boosted by Russian bots.

Despite these controversies, Hoffman continues to be an active participant in political funding. His political activities, including funding a project aimed at combating disinformation, have raised questions about his role in shaping public opinion.
