Another Surprise! Liberal Oligarch Charles Koch Backs Liberal Neocon Retread Nikki Haley for President

I did not see this coming.

Actually, I didn't see this coming. Because I haven't thought about Charles Koch since 2015.

But yeah, he's backing Indian Tracey Flick. Because he can't stand the idea of someone campaigning to roll back the left's culture war gains or seal the border, which he wants wide, wide open. The only priorities that Republicans are allowed to fight for are tax breaks for billionaires and unlimited political power for billionaires and the aggressively weird form of nihilistic transgender libertarianism libertinism that weird billionaires tend to support.

Koch network backs Nikki Haley in the Republican race: Group associated with billionaire Charles says it will do 'everything' to make her next president and snubs Trump with just 48 days until the Iowa caucus

Americans for Prosperity Action said Haley was best placed to beat Joe Biden

It means she now has the help of a well-funded super PAC in the primaries

But she still faces a huge job in overhauling clear frontrunner Donald Trump

The conservative U.S. political network headed by billionaire Charles Koch on Tuesday endorsed Nikki Haley for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, saying she was the best candidate to beat President Joe Biden next year.

It is the latest boost for the former South Carolina governor who has seen her stock rise with strong debate performances and improving poll numbers.

Her traditional conservative positions also align with the Koch network, which uses its money to push for tax cuts and less government regulation.

Setting out its reasons, the group said beating former President Donald Trump in the primaries was a top priority.

'Between her surging to second place in the polls since August and being well-positioned amongst supporters of the other candidates, she is in a strong position to gather more support,' said Emily Seidel, a senior adviser to the Koch group's Americans for Prosperity Action, in a memo.

'In addition, our internal polling consistently shows that Nikki Haley is by far the strongest candidate Republicans could put up against Joe Biden in a general election -- winning every key battleground state and up nationally by nearly 10 points.'

She said polls also showed that Republicans were ready to move on from Trump.

...

It will back her campaign with the sort of field workers, call centers and direct mail operations that she has lacked until now.

'I'm honored to have the support of Americans for Prosperity Action, including its millions of grass-roots members all across the country,' said Haley. 'A.F.P. Action's members know that there is too much at stake in this election to sit on the sidelines.'

The DeSantis campaign could not disguise its irritation.

Spokesman Andrew Romeo posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter: 'Congratulations to Donald Trump on securing the Koch endorsement. Like clockwork, the pro-open borders, pro-jail break bill establishment is lining up behind a moderate who has no mathematical pathway of defeating the former president.'

Koch's net worth is estimated at $50 billion by Forbes.

Speaking of twisted, lunatic billionaires with hateful agendas: Enjoy the community note slapped on this propaganda from George Soros' scumbag get.
