Koch Network Throws Support Behind Nikki Haley's Presidential Bid

Americans for Prosperity, the political arm of the Koch network, has formally endorsed Nikki Haley's presidential campaign, pledging its support and resources to help her defeat Donald Trump in the GOP primary. The endorsement provides Haley with a significant boost, as she has been lacking resources on the ground. The Koch network has been building a network of conservative activists and volunteers in key states for years. However, it remains to be seen if the endorsement can weaken Trump's hold on the Republican nomination, as he maintains a commanding lead in the polls.

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.

The endorsement from Americans for Prosperity Action boosts Haley's campaign momentum and gives her access to resources such as field workers, direct-mail operations, and television advertisements. The network's support is seen as a significant boost for Haley, who has been gaining support as an alternative to former President Donald Trump but lacks the organizational strength of DeSantis.
