"Koch Officials Stand by Nikki Haley as Right Candidate Despite Early Losses to Trump"

Officials in the Koch network defended their heavy investment in Nikki Haley's campaign as the right candidate to back against Donald Trump, despite early losses. They emphasized their continued support for Haley, while also prioritizing efforts to flip the Senate from Democratic control.

Additionally, some donors are refocusing efforts on securing GOP victories in congressional races following Trump's wins in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Nikki Haley Gains Momentum as Top Contender to Challenge Trump in GOP Primaries

Top political donors are increasingly viewing Nikki Haley as a viable candidate to challenge Donald Trump in the GOP presidential primaries. Despite Trump's dominance in national and state polling, some donors, including those who were hesitant to support Trump in the past, are rallying behind Haley's campaign and urging others to do the same. Haley has impressed business leaders with her policy knowledge, and some Republican institutional leaders and financial backers are looking for a next-generation leader to move the party past the tumultuous Trump years. While Trump remains a formidable force, there is a growing belief among donors that his nomination can be stopped, and Haley's polling surge among GOP voters is contributing to this sentiment.

Fagan apologized for her poor judgment, but the former secretaries say the damage to voters' trust is irreparable. Fagan's delay in taking action and the fact that the cannabis chain has failed to meet its obligations to tax authorities and creditors have added to the controversy.
