Some staffers at conservative group AFP Action have left or are considering leaving the organization after it endorsed Nikki Haley for president.

The pro-DeSantis super PAC, Never Back Down, has recently hired two former AFP Action grassroots directors for its Iowa political team. Despite the discontent, the departures are unlikely to have a significant impact on AFP Action's ability to promote Haley's candidacy.
