Massive Donor Drops Nikki Haley After Big South Carolina Loss to Trump
One of Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s prime backers has had enough.
Americans for Prosperity Action, a group aligned with conservative billionaire Charles Koch, has said it will no longer pour money into her campaign after her loss in South Carolina on Saturday, according to Politico.
Politico reported that it had obtained an email in which Americans for Prosperity CEO Emily Seidel said AFP Action, its political division, was no longer funding Haley.
“She has made it clear that she will continue to fight and we wholeheartedly support her in this effort,” Seidel wrote.
“But given the challenges in the primary states ahead, we don’t believe any outside group can make a material difference to widen her path to victory,” she wrote.
