According to POLITICO, Seidel wrote,” She has made it evident that she will continue to fight, and we fully support her in this effort.”
However, given the difficulties she faces in the upcoming primary states, we do n’t think any outside organization can significantly improve her chances of winning, Seidel continued.

POLITICO publishes:
Haley’s long-shot political campaign has suffered losses in four first nominating states and the Virgin Islands, including on Saturday when she was defeated by former President Donald Trump in her home state by 20 points. The decision by AFP Action is the latest setback. Although Haley has just engaged to running through Super Tuesday on March 5, she has stated that she will continue in her main fight.
In an effort to convince Republican voters to support someone other than Trump in the political key, AFP Action had been funding advertisements and field operations for months last year. However, AFP Action did n’t choose Haley as its preferred Trump replacement until late November. Since then, AFP has purchased millions of dollars ‘ worth of advertisements on Haley’s behalf and contacted more than 3 million voters in early nominating and Super Tuesday states.

According to CNBC:
The second straw for the previous governor of South Carolina, who has taken a number of hits since the start of the election year, is AFP Action closing its wallet. Reid Hoffman, a billionaire, has stopped funding Haley’s political campaign in addition to AFP Action.
Haley has vowed to remain in the race through Super Tuesday on March 5 despite the setbacks. According to her campaign, AFP Action’s decision to stop funding has n’t altered the equation and it still has the means to survive.
In the fight for freedom and liberal government, AFP is a fantastic organization and ally. In a statement released on Sunday, the Haley campaign thanked them for their invaluable assistance in this race. ” Our fight continues, and we have plenty of fuel to keep going with more than$ 1 million coming in from grassroots conservatives in just the last 24 hours.” To save a nation, we must.
Instead, AFP Action will use its funds to support Democratic congressional campaigns. It has so far supported 19 candidates for House seats and 5 candidates running for Senate seats.”}]] [[{“value”:”

POLITICO Reports:
AFP Action’s announcement is the latest blow for Haley’s presidential bid. Haley has already suffered losses in four of the early nominating states, as well as in the Virgin Islands. Haley was also defeated by former President Donald Trump in her home state on Saturday by 20 points. Haley has declared that she will continue her primary campaign, but only commits to running until Super Tuesday on 5th March.
AFP Action funded field operations and advertisements for months in order to convince Republican voters to support someone other than Trump during the presidential primary. It wasn’t until late in November that AFP Action chose Haley as their preferred Trump alternative. Since then, AFP Action has reached out to over 3 million voters, both in early nominating states and Super Tuesday States, as well as bought millions of dollars’ worth of ads for Haley.

According to CNBC:
The closure of AFP Action’s wallet is another blow to the former South Carolina Governor who has been hit hard since the beginning of the election season. Along with AFP Action and billionaire Reid Hoffman, Haley’s bid for the presidency has been stopped by both.
Haley has pledged that despite the setbacks she will remain in the race until Super Tuesday, which is on March 5. Her campaign stated that the withdrawal of funding from AFP Action has not changed this calculus, and that they still have the resources to remain afloat.
“AFP is a wonderful organization and ally in our fight for freedom and conservative governments. Haley’s campaign issued a statement Sunday thanking them for their tremendous support in this race. “Our fight continues and with grassroots conservatives donating more than $1,000,000 in the last 24 hour, we have enough fuel to continue. We have a nation to save.”
AFP Action will instead use its resources to finance Republican congressional campaigns. It has endorsed so far five candidates for Senate and nineteen candidates for House seats.
