Koch Political Machine Vows to Fight to Deny Trump GOP Nomination in 2024Bo Rader—Wichita Eagle/Tribune News Service via Getty Imageshe Koch political machine, which fuels the most powerful donor network in conservative politics, is declaring itself as part of the NeverTrump effort for 2024, aiming to deny former President Donald Trump a third nomination for the White House.Trump
Americans for Prosperity is perhaps the most forward-facing arm of the Koch political orbit, organized more than two decades ago by billionaires Charles and David Koch. They went all-in on Mitt Romney’s campaign in 2012, a move many of the network’s members to this day regret. The groups were no fans of Trump in 2016 but many of their donors were, so they officially stayed out of the primary after flirting with a flex.
Last year, the groups engaged in 457 races, with the knocking of 7 million doors and the mailing of more than 100 million pieces of messaging bankrolled by their efforts, according to their post-election audit. Of those races, just 22 were federal, meaning their real impact was on the hyper-local races where the GOP is building its bench. Their win rate? Over 80%, according to the audit, suggesting that the Koch influence was less of a thumb on the scale and more of an elephant.

Hard to put back in the tube once the orange slime has been smeared all over. The KochMachine thinks they can just wave away the problem they helped create?
Can't wait for the old wytes to join their ancestors
They started this whole mess along with Murdoch, that cord around thier neck's is tied forever.
Ok. But where have you all been since 2016? comegetyourboy
What does this mean for The Lincoln Project?
The Koch's are representative of what's worst about America. Billionaires lobby and get laws, or lack thereof, they want. They fund PAC's and support the candidates they want. We, the people, only get to vote for the candidates that the billionaires have already selected.
Trump got 62 million votes, sucker
The Koch political machine surely realizes that even if the GOP moves on from Trump, they will have to afford him a great amount of hero worship, and offer him a percentage of all future campaign funds raised ...
Thank God it's over for Trump, like a fellow co-conspiritor across the murky pond Boris 'big-dog' Johnson he's yesterday's man.
Who cares.
21 March 2023 -president down . 7-March 2024 -America down with E.m.p by Russia.
All these big corporations like Democrats. Notice Democrats are the party of the rich now. They like open borders, low wages, and keeping people poor right along with the RINO Republicans and the Never Trumpers.
Backing another candidate is not necessarily 'never Trump' if Trump wins over the other candidates they are unlikely to do anything to assist his final opponent
Hmm,the strange irony of potential GOPQ candidates. Hmm,are part of the machine or worse with the same ideology. Hmm,the party would like to pretend to pivot to the center. Hmm,but it can't in reference to Koch if Trump would have pulled off the coup he would be fine with that.
They have the guts to do the right thing !
Amen 🙏
We have a 'Never vote Conservative' movement in Canada, too. I support it. It would be nice to vote someone in, rather than out, within my lifetime. It doesn't look like that's on the horizon. C'est la vie.
I remember the last time they said they didn’t support Trump. They lied
and what puppet are the goin to pic insread?
Well then.
They don’t represent me
It’s just Koch brother now
Their wasting their money cause Trump will be re elected.
Here's a real never !
DeSantis will be worse and they will have no problem with him.
