Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor, announced the end of her presidential campaign. After Super Tuesday’s stumbles, a new direction was chosen. It effectively relinquishes the 2024 Republican nomination to Donald Trump. Haley delivered a three-minute speech in Charleston, South Carolina. In which she did not immediately endorse Trump, setting a different tone than most of his other Republican rivals who swiftly extended their support.
Following her resounding defeat in coast-to-coast Super Tuesday contests, Haley officially ended her presidential campaign on Wednesday, effectively handing Trump the Republican candidacy for 2024.
Unlike almost all of his previous Republican opponents, the former governor of South Carolina—who also served as Trump’s UN ambassador and was the first well-known woman of color to run for the Republican presidential nomination—did not support the outgoing president right away. Rather, she called it Trump’s «time for choosing» and pushed him to win over her supporters, as per Yahoo.
