This has everyone wondering: has Birdbrain finally accepted defeat?

Will Haley be dropping out after tonight?

KIRO 7 reported:

Nikki Haley has pegged her Republican presidential campaign to the biggest day of the primary season, crossing the country over the last several days to visit Super Tuesday states.

But the former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina governor is not holding any public events Tuesday night. And she has no future campaign rallies listed on her website.

Haley’s campaign says she’s spending election night in the Charleston, South Carolina, area and watching results come in with her staff.

Says the campaign: “The mood is jubilant.”

15 states will hold Republican primaries tonight: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia.

Results are already in for Virginia, where Haley lost majorly to President Trump.

Nikki Haley’s campaign also has no TV or radio ads booked for beyond Super Tuesday:

The Wall Street Journal shared some insight on the Nikki Haley campaign’s fate following the results of tonight:

The biggest day of 2024 balloting so far plays out Tuesday, with Donald Trump likely to deliver another demoralizing blow to Nikki Haley on a day that is expected to move him within reach of the Republican presidential nomination.

Close to a third of the U.S. will participate in Super Tuesday: Republicans will vote in 15 states, while Democrats are holding primaries and caucuses in 15 states, plus American Samoa.

The former president can’t quite win enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee, even with more than a third of the total at stake in the single day. He could hit the threshold by March 12 or March 19.

As Tuesday’s results come in, Haley will need to decide whether to continue on with her increasingly quixotic bid to stop Trump from winning the nomination.

The former South Carolina governor has tapped into anti-Trump sentiment within the GOP and elsewhere, so her fundraising remains strong enough to keep her going if she were to decide to do so.

Her campaign said Monday that it had already raised $1 million in the first few days of March, after raising $12 million in February. That was down from $16.5 million in January, but still plenty to keep her travel and campaign apparatus afloat.

On Monday, Haley made her potential last stand in Texas—home of the Alamo and one of the states voting Tuesday—before traveling to South Carolina. She has no events scheduled for Tuesday or beyond.

Her campaign also has no future TV or radio ads booked, according to AdImpact, although it is still spending on digital ads and text messaging to turn out the vote Tuesday.
