After former President Donald Trump defeated her in her home state of South Carolina on Saturday, the news for GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley is still bad.
Haley lost key financial support from an organization funded by major GOP donors, while Trump picked up a major new endorsement.
Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the chamber’s No. 2 Republican and top deputy to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), came out in support of Trump in a statement to Fox News, “while a prominent Koch-backed group dropped its funding for Nikki Haley,” Just the News reported.
”The primary results in South Carolina make clear that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for president in this year’s pivotal presidential election,” Thune said. “The choice before the American people is crystal clear: It’s Donald Trump or Joe Biden.”
