Nikki Haley: In a move that solidifies Donald Trump as the Republican presidential candidate for a rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden, Nikki Haley officially ended her long-shot campaign on Wednesday. Following Super Tuesday, where Trump decisively won in 14 of the 15 Republican nominating contests, Haley conceded during a speech in Charleston, emphasizing her decision to suspend the campaign with no regrets.

While Haley acknowledged that Trump is likely to become the Republican nominee, she did not endorse him, stating, “It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him.” Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, endorsed Trump, signaling support that some party hardliners had questioned.

Drawing on her foreign policy experience at the U.N., Haley emphasized the importance of continuing U.S. global leadership, differing from Trump on issues like supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression. Biden praised Haley for speaking out against Trump and extended an invitation to her supporters, stating, “There is a place for them in my campaign.”

As Haley conceded, Trump criticized her on the Truth Social media platform, while Biden commended her courage in “speaking the truth” about Trump. Trump’s readiness for a debate was met with caution from the Biden campaign, with spokesman Michael Tyler stating it would be discussed at the appropriate time.

The upcoming election, featuring a rematch between 77-year-old Trump and 81-year-old Biden, is anticipated to be divisive, with both candidates facing low approval ratings. Haley, though lasting longer than other Republican challengers, couldn’t pose a significant threat to Trump, highlighting the former president’s stronghold on the party’s base.
