Following back-and-forths among the candidates on the stage regarding the Iranian nuclear agreement and whether defunding Planned Parenthood was worth shutting down the government, Fiorina decided that she “would like to link the issues”.
Fiorina’s campaign declined to provide details about fundraising, but the candidate headlined a fundraiser Thursday night in Los Angeles hosted by notable GOP donors, including former Univision chief Jerry Perenchio.
Fiorina’s broader strategy – both in the debate and moving forward in the fall campaign – is to draft off Trump’s outsider appeal, while presenting herself as a more substantive alternative to the billionaire showman.
