Nikki Haley Expected to Drop Out of Presidential Race

Nikki Haley has been the last remaining rival of President Donald Trump for the Republican Nomination for the upcoming presidential election.

Nikki went through thirteen grueling months of campaigning after announcing her presidential campaign in Charleston, South Carolina.

That all will come to an end as Haley is expected to announce the end of her campaign on Wednesday morning.

Fox News has more on how Super Tuesday effectively pushed Haley to end her Republican campaign:

The former president on Tuesday swept 14 of the 15 states from coast to coast that held Republican presidential primaries and caucuses on Super Tuesday, moving Trump much closer to locking up the GOP nomination and into a general election rematch with President Biden.

Haley, who for a month had said she would stay in the race at least through Super Tuesday, held no public event or speech on Tuesday night – as she watched election results in private with her campaign team – and remained mum on any plans going forward.

Trump’s near sweep of the Super Tuesday states – Haley narrowly edged the former president in Vermont – turned up the volume on calls by fellow Republicans for Haley to end her White House bid

President Trump had an impressive showing for Super Tuesday, earning blowout results in every state except Vermont. This was the only state where Haley won the state’s delegates by a more than 4% point margin.

NBC News has more on Karoline Leavitt’s, President Trump’s campaign press secretary, comments:

The Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in an interview on Fox Business that she hoped Haley would endorse Trump “considering again that voters and states across this country have made their choice very clear.”

“It is beyond time for Nikki Haley to get out of this race and to unify around the president,” she said. “He has been saying this for weeks, really for months. And so we encourage her to do just that, to adhere to the will of Republican voters.”

Despite Leavitt’s hope that Haley would endorse President Trump as the Republican nominee, she did not say specifically who she will endorse at this time.

While the campaign manager hopes for her endorsement, many have taken to X to express their feelings of a Haley endorsement, and they are not positive:

USA Today has more on Haley’s efforts to stay in the race:

Last month, Haley surprised many observers when she announced before the primary in her home state of South Carolina that she was staying in the race, at least through Super Tuesday. Most thought she would end her presidential bid rather than suffer a lopsided loss at home.

When I spoke to Haley during a visit to Michigan in late February, she did not strike me as a candidate who was ready to give up. She boasted about strong fundraising numbers. And she seemed more determined than ever to give Americans a choice that isn’t Trump or President Joe Biden – both of whom she says would be bad for the country.

While Nikki Haley has yet to make any commitments to dropping out of the race, it is expected she drops out any day now after her devastating Super Tuesday results.
