Nikki Haley ended her presidential campaign on Wednesday after being soundly defeated in coast-to-coast Super Tuesday contests, in effect ceding the 2024 Republican nomination to Donald Trump.
The former South Carolina governor, who became Trump’s UN ambassador and the first prominent woman of color to seek the Republican nomination for president, declined to immediately endorse the former president as nearly all of his other Republican rivals did. Instead she challenged Trump to earn the support of her voters, calling it his “time for choosing”.
