The decision by Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP) to pull the plug is another setback for Ms Haley as she seeks the Republican nomination.

She lost her home state of South Carolina on Saturday to former President Donald Trump, his fourth successive victory in the primaries.

But she has vowed to fight on.

In an email to staff on Sunday, the AFP president and CEO said their backing would focus on key Senate and House races in November's election rather than on Ms Haley.
