As if on cue, here comes another billionaire group by well-established political control agents in yet another multimillion effort to block President Trump. This time it’s Koch and his Americans for Prosperity network.
The Koch groups are planning to spend $70 million in their effort to eliminate the support of Donald Trump in 2024.
However, what will be interesting will be to watch how the downstream media networks attack Trump in order to get a piece of the spending allotment. That’s where knowing where the Koch money flows comes in handy.
First the article:

Mr. Koch is a major shareholder in Koch Industries, which contributed $25 million to Americans for Prosperity Action, according to a preliminary draft of Federal Election Commission filings.

In February, a top political official in the network, Emily Seidel, wrote a memo to donors and activists saying it was time to “have a president in 2025 who represents a new chapter.” (read more)

So, we are going to see all the Never Trump media orgs like Fox News, The Daily Wire, etc. etc. lining up to take the Koch money in order to make some cash with their ideological alignment.
This Koch Industries $70 million expenditure, exclusively to target Donald Trump, is on top of the $200+ million being spent by Ron DeSantis’s Never Back Down SuperPAC group. Now people are starting to get the scale of the “trillions at stake” aspect.
