Episode notes

GOP power players are the network of conservative groups that was started by the Koch brothers, now just Charles Koch. And also the anti-tax group, the Club for Growth. These are organizations that play in electoral politics to the tune of spending tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Right now, the word is that both of them are going to try to get someone who is not named Donald Trump to be the 2024 Republican nominee.

Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, is running for president. Vox’s Andrew Prokop says she’s likely the first of many prominent Republicans to challenge Trump.

This episode was produced by Miles Bryan, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Laura Bullard and Matt Collette, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
