Historically the political network has only backed Republicans running for congress.
, Emily Seidel, CEO of the Koch-affiliated Americans for Prosperity, said the organization is going into the next round of congressional elections being open to backing Democrats in primary fights as long as they support some of the networks proposed policies.
The move to open its doors to Democrats comes after recent disagreements with lawmakers and Trump on how they've handled the immigration status of Dreamers — immigrants brought into the country as children. The two sides have also disagreed on trade policy, with Trump remaining firm on tariffs that have been implemented on goods coming from China.
The "Economic Opportunity" PAC, for instance, will finance campaigns that support removing business regulations, while the "Uniting for Free Trade" PAC will spend on candidates who are vocal about the negative effect tariffs are having on U.S. consumers. "We know that candidates will seldom agree with Americans for Prosperity on every issue," she said. "But for those who do the politically difficult job of leading on a critical issue, these issue-specific PACs will make it clear why the millions of Americans support them on that issue, even if they have principled disagreements on others."
