Unopposed Republican nominee Donald Trump will likely secure a rematch with President Joe Biden in November.
Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, following Super Tuesday losses, will reportedly suspend her presidential campaign, leaving former President Donald Trump unopposed in the Republican race, possibly securing his rematch with President Joe Biden in November.
According ABC NewsHaley, while not immediately endorsing Trump, is expected to address reporters in Charleston, South Carolina. Having launched her candidacy early, she became the latest candidate to drop out of the race after more than a year of campaigning.
Haley's campaign focused on the message of ushering in a “new generational leader” and challenging 20th-century political norms. Despite her political experience and name recognition, she started out as a relatively dark horse and gradually became Trump's leading contender.
When the race came down to just Haley and Trump, she encountered setbacks in New Hampshire and her home state of South Carolina. Despite winning the Washington, DC primary shortly before Super Tuesday, she came up short.
In an attempt to distinguish herself from Trump's vision for the Republican Party, Haley honed her attacks, raising concerns about Trump's commitment to the Constitution and calling his likely nomination “suicide for our country.”
While Haley continued to draw sizable crowds, rumors of a third-party bid were repeatedly shot down. In his speech before the South Carolina primary, she clarified that his goal was not just to oppose Trump but to express concerns about current and former presidents.
