The Koch Brothers are coming in loaded against Trump in the next election.
According to an internal memo put out by Americans for Prosperity, the Conservative donor network created by brothers Charles G. and David H. Koch, the network is preparing to get involved in the presidential primaries in 2024 and to turn “the page on the past” a clear reference to President Trump.

Americans for Prosperity, one of the most influential American conservative organizations whose political PAC spent $500 million supporting Republican candidates in the last election cycle alone, has never directly supported candidates in a Presidential election before.
Americans for Prosperity CEO Emily Seidel writes in the memo:
“When you understand the landscape this way, it’s clear: Our country must move past the current political situation – we’ve got to turn the page on the past several years.he second lesson from 2022 is that the loudest voice in each political party sets the tone for the entire election. In a presidential year, that’s the presidential candidate.
And to write a new chapter for our country, we need to turn the page on the past. So the best thing for the country would be to have a president in 2025 who represents a new chapter. The American people have shown that they’re ready to move on, and so AFP will help them do that.
It looks like the Democrats have already chosen their path for the presidential – so there’s no opportunity to have a positive impact there.
But AFP Action is prepared to support a candidate in the Republican presidential primary who can lead our country forward, and who can win.”

Breitbart reports that The Koch Brother network has long been opposed to some of the populist policies supported by President Trump.
For example, the Washington Free Beacon recently reported that it has obtained documents showing that a “coalition of progressive activists bankrolled by George Soros, Charles Koch, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund are mounting a secret lobbying campaign to revive the Iran nuclear deal by tying it to the Iranian human rights movement, according to internal correspondence.”
So far, only Trump has entered the race for the next Presidential election, but the move by the billionaire industrialist brothers’ group may encourage others to step into the race or pull large donations toward another candidate.
