AFP, a conservative super political action committee, has spent millions of dollars since the fall on advertising and voter outreach efforts for Haley helping to fuel her bid for the Republican nomination. “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,” Emily Seidel, a senior advisor for AFP Action, said in a memo Sunday, obtained by Bloomberg News. “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.” **Read More:** [_Nikki Haley Vows to Stay in Presidential Race_](https://time.com/6696857/nikki-haley-south-carolina-republican-primary-trump/) Politico earlier reported the group’s decision. The move to cut funding for Haley’s presidential effort comes a day after she suffered a roughly 20-percentage point loss to Trump in South Carolina, the state where she served two gubernatorial terms, before serving as Trump’s U.N. Ambassador. Haley vowed to stay in the race until Super Tuesday on March 5, when more than a dozen states vote. But she has virtually no path to secure the nomination with Trump expected to clinch enough delegates by mid-March. Since endorsing her in late November, Americans for Prosperity Action has spent more than $32 million in support of Haley, Federal Election Commission records show, with the bulk of that amount going to digital advertising and canvassing. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6817405/koch-afp-pac-funding-nikki-haley-presidential-campaign/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6817405/koch-afp-pac-funding-nikki-haley-presidential-campaign/"},"headline":"‘We Will Focus Our Resources Where We Can Make the Difference’: Koch Super PAC to Stop Funding Nikki Haley’s Presidential Campaign","datePublished":"2024-02-26T01:35:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-24T17:11:37.309Z","description":"Americans for Prosperity Action—backed by Charles Koch—has spent millions of dollars since the fall on advertising and voter outreach efforts for Haley, but no longer sees a path to victory.","url":"https://time.com/6817405/koch-afp-pac-funding-nikki-haley-presidential-campaign/","keywords":["republicans","wire","overnight","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0bc83fc0a6e85219/698a48db86f68e850e6f3b6a/nikki-haley.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Gregory Korte and Christian Hall / Bloomberg"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0bc83fc0a6e85219/698a48db86f68e850e6f3b6a/nikki-haley.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Presidential Candidate Nikki Haley","caption":"Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley speaks at her election night watch party the eve of the primary elections, in Charleston, South Carolina United States on Feb. 24, 2024.","creditText":"Peter Zay—Anadolu/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/republicans/","name":"republicans"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6817405/koch-afp-pac-funding-nikki-haley-presidential-campaign/","name":"‘We Will Focus Our Resources Where We Can Make the Difference’: Koch Super PAC to Stop Funding Nikki Haley’s Presidential Campaign"}}]}] ```
