"Trump and Haley Battle for Big Donor Support in GOP Fundraising Race"

Nikki Haley's campaign manager warned influential donors that the GOP would lose control of the U.S. House of Representatives if Donald Trump is the party’s presidential nominee, while Trump's top advisers presented data to convince Republican financiers to support him. The dueling presentations reflect the contrasting positions of the final two Republican White House hopefuls, with Haley fighting for her political survival and Trump in a commanding position. Top GOP donors, including Paul Singer and Betsy DeVos, are divided in their support, with some backing Haley and others leaning towards Trump, while conservative billionaire Charles Koch's political network is still supporting Haley but also looking toward House and Senate races.

Koch Network Throws Support Behind Nikki Haley for President

The influential Koch network, associated with billionaire Charles Koch, has announced its support for former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the Republican presidential primary. This endorsement could have a significant impact on the race as Americans for Prosperity Action, the political arm of the Koch network, deploys its vast resources and conservative activists on behalf of Haley. The decision comes as prominent Republican donors rally behind Haley, who has seen a surge in support since South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott dropped out of the race. The Koch network has pledged to back a single contender in the primary and bypass former President Donald Trump, seeking a candidate who represents a new chapter. The effort will begin with a multimillion-dollar ad campaign in early voting states, and the network's extensive grassroots reach will be utilized.
