It’s just being reported that Nikki Haley has lost a big funding source after her handily defeat in her home state of South Carolina last night.
Fox News is reporting that the Koch bothers have pulled their funding from Haley’s campaign:
AFP Action, the conservative wing of the powerful and influential conservative Americans for Prosperity, funded by the billionaire Koch Brothers, has pulled funding for the presidential campaign of Nikki Haley.
In an email to staffers obtained by Fox News, AFP Action senior adviser Emily Seidel said the group did not believe that “any outside group can make a material difference to widen [Haley’s] path to victory.”
“And so while we will continue to endorse her, we will focus our resources where we can make the difference. And that’s the U.S. Senate and House,” Seidel wrote.
This is not a shock in the slightest. As I said last night, losing South Carolina should end her campaign for president once and for all. The fact that she wants to continue at this point is delusion.
