Headline wildly overstates. "Donors" here means two people.

"People I know who are generally business Republicans, they're going to hear from me" about helping Biden, Sloan said.
Two influential people.
Sure, but at the moment it's two. Headline reads like there's a stampede when there's not.
Dangit - c'mon you horses! race!
Headlines aside, what drives donors is always the same thing. Haley and Biden are good for business. Trump adds geopolitical instability, thus bad for business.
Oh, I completely agree, but there's also the little thing about fascism, and people who are able to avoid being a target of that fascism are going to pay for that privilege. It's like the Disney Genie+ of society.
Two people who were willing to publicly admit it. The article provides indications that more may have switched over, including that Donald Trump proclaimed anyone who contributed to Haley is out of the MAGA camp, and that the Biden campaign is actively courting them.
Besides, there's less than a hair's breadth between Haley and Biden politically.

This is just fundamentally not the case
tbf, they do look the same if you approach it from either the position of abolishing capitalism, or of instituting fascism. Since they both would strongly oppose that.
"To be fair they both oppose these two really extreme positions" is a pretty low bar of commonality
Agreed. Though it does help explain the attacks you see in different internet spaces.
With trump actively using GOP funds to pay for his legal issues, it's pretty obvious that future GOP donations are going to waste.
"Anybody that makes a 'Contribution' to [Haley] from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don't want them, and will not accept them," he wrote on Truth Social on January 24.
That was before his campaign spent more than $6.9 million in legal fees across February.
Oh no, not camp MAGA...I'd rather go to Kamp Krusty
Why not choose a picture of her shaking Joe Biden's hand then?
Does such a picture exist?
Eh, they both look incredibly miserable here, like they despise each other.
Im ok with pictures of Nikki Haley debasing herself
Joooooe Biden
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donors who supported Nikki Haley in her Republican primary campaign are set to switch their allegiance to Joe Biden, as he prepares to face Donald Trump in the presidential election later this year.
Trump was confirmed as the GOP nominee for November's presidential election last week after securing enough delegates across multiple primaries.
Haley, the former South Carolina governor, dropped out of the primary race earlier this month in the wake of Super Tuesday.
Media mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg called Harry Sloan, who had previously helped bring in at least $550,000 for Haley through fundraising receptions, and asked him to donate to Biden instead.
He has also donated to Democrats in the past and gave $100,000 to a pro-Biden political action committee, Future Forward, last year.
Newsweek could not independently verify this information and contacted Biden's campaign by email to comment on this story.
