Nikki Haley, former United Nations ambassador and potential 2024 presidential candidate, has received the endorsement of billionaire Charles Koch's network, a powerful conservative donor base.

Despite polling behind Trump, Haley's strong debate performances and recent favorability bump have given hope to those seeking an alternative. The endorsement is seen as a blow to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is polling in second place.
