    Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley received an endorsement on Tuesday from the political network founded by the Koch brothers.

    Americans for Prosperity Action said that it was time for the country to "turn the page on the past," warning that "Donald Trump and Joe Biden will only further perpetuate the country's downward spiral in politics."

    The New York Times noted that Americans for Prosperity Action has been "among the country's largest spenders on anti-Trump material this year, buying online ads and sending mailers to voters in several states, including Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina."

    The super PAC released an ad that called Haley a "bold leader" and said that she would "deliver on her promises."

    "I'm honored to have the support of @AFPAction , including its millions of grassroots members all across the country," Haley wrote on X. "This election is a choice between freedom & socialism, individual liberty & big government, fiscal responsibility & spiraling debt. We have a country to save."

    The vast financial resources that the super PAC has will help boost Haley's ground operation in early primary states where she "does not have the organizational strength" of her chief opponent, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the report said.

    The endorsement from the Koch network will give Haley "access to a direct-mail operation, field workers to knock on doors and people making phone calls to prospective voters in Iowa and beyond," the Times said, adding that the group will spend heavily in television ads.

    The other super PAC backing Haley, Stand for America, has spent millions attacking DeSantis while avoiding attacking former President Donald Trump, who currently leads the primary field.

    Americans for Prosperity Action mostly promotes libertarian and conservative policies that support limited government and free market economics and generally aligns with more traditional establishment Republicans.


    The group has taken some heat for their support of criminal justice reform policies and for their opposition to hardline policies cracking down on illegal immigration.

    The DeSantis Campaign issued a statement "congratulating" Trump over the Koch endorsement of Haley.

    "Congratulations to Donald Trump on securing the Koch endorsement," said Communications Director Andrew Romeo. "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. Every dollar spent on Nikki Haley's candidacy should be reported as an in-kind to the Trump campaign. No one has a stronger record of beating the establishment than Ron DeSantis, and this time will be no different."

In the most recent Midterms Election, the "Republican Red Wave" turned out to be a "Republican Red Ripple," which, as in all elections, confounded the political prognosticators of what to expect down the governing /political road: What, and who, do you think is best for this meandering Representative Republic in the near future?

  Because they know how to best allocate the public's money back to the right part of the public, the Democrats will NOW always prevail and get my vote.

  With patriotic pragmatism the cornerstone of the best of the Republican Party, they will ultimately save this Constitutional Republic from self-destruction.

  Since the Executive Branch is so important to turn this Representative Republic around, I am still on Team Trump in 2024.

  Since the nation may need a different path to Conservative patriotism in the Executive, I am joining Team DeSantis.

  Because I am entitled to take the government dole, the prevailing favoritism whenever possible, I will support any, and every Democrat candidate.
