Conservative Mega-Donors Endorse Nikki Haley for Republican Presidential Nomination
A conservative-leaning political action committee, Americans for Prosperity, backed by the influential Koch network, has announced its endorsement of former South Carolina governor and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley for the Republican presidential nomination. The super PAC believes that Haley is the best candidate to defeat both former President Donald Trump in the primary election and President Biden in the general election.
Supporting America’s Core Principles
In a letter addressed to grassroots leaders, activists, and interested parties, Americans for Prosperity Action expressed its concern that the Republican party has been selecting candidates who go against America’s core principles, while Democrats are implementing what it considers extreme policies. The super PAC believes that nearly three-quarters of Republican voters are ready to move on from Trump, despite his current lead in national and key primary-state polls.
Haley’s Rising Popularity
Although Trump is currently leading among Republicans, the AFP statement acknowledges that Haley has gained significant traction in multiple polls, securing second place. To support her campaign, Americans for Prosperity plans to invest in new mail, TV, and online advertisements.
By receiving the endorsement of the Koch network and its associated super PAC, Nikki Haley’s bid for the Republican presidential nomination has received a significant boost. With her rising popularity and the backing of conservative mega-donors, Haley’s campaign is poised to make a strong impact in the upcoming primary and general elections.
