CNN —The influential network associated with billionaire Charles Koch will no longer throw its money behind former South Carolina Gov.
Nikki Haley in the Republican presidential primary and will instead focus on key Senate and House races, the group announced in an email to staff obtained by CNN.
Americans for Prosperity Action’s endorsement in November was a significant boost for Haley as she sought to become the leading alternative to former President Donald Trump in the GOP primary.
But while the race has come down to Haley and Trump, the former president remains the dominant front-runner after a strong victory in Haley’s home state on Saturday.
“AFP is a great organization and ally in the fight for freedom and conservative government.
