Koch network endorsement is latest sign of Haley’s rise, but it’s far from a game ender
CNNCNN — An endorsement by a powerful conservative political advocacy group of former South Carolina Gov. The endorsement, which Americans for Prosperity Action unveiled on Tuesday, had a ripple effect, creating fresh buzz around her campaign among donors and touching Haley’s chief rivals – Florida Gov. “We should want to win the majority of Americans,” Haley said, “but the only way we’re going to do that is if we leave the negativity and the baggage behind and we go towards a new generational leader.” Haley mentioned Trump only in the closing moments of her remarks, but when she said, “chaos follows him everywhere he goes,” she drew laughter and booming applause from the audience inside the crowded Derry Opera House. Pope said he closely examined the economic policies of Haley and DeSantis, before concluding that she was “more qualified and more aligned with me on the issues.” He called Haley a “traditional limited government conservative” and said her “practical experience” as a CPA – who had to navigate government regulations and the challenge of meeting payroll while working in her family’s business – made her uniquely qualified to serve as president. He described DeSantis’ economic policies as “too populist.” Eric Levine, a New York lawyer and Republican fundraiser who is co-hosting a fundraising event for Haley on Monday, said the Koch endorsement has generated even more buzz.
