(The Guardian) Nikki Haley to pull out of presidential race – reports
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Nikki Haley is to pull out of the 2024 presidential election race. It says the candidate is expected to make a brief appearance at 10am ET (3pm GMT).
Haley has won only two primaries – the District of Columbia and Vermont – during her campaign.
Quoting “people familiar with her plans”, the paper reports: Haley won’t announce an endorsement Wednesday, the people said. She will encourage Donald Trump, who is close to having the delegates needed to win the GOP nomination, to earn the support of Republican and independent voters who backed her. She is expected to emphasize that she will continue to advocate for the conservative domestic and foreign policies she supports and caution against some of the dangers, such as isolationism and a lack of fiscal discipline, that she sees coming from Washington.
In its report claiming that sources familiar with the matter have told the Wall Street Journal that Nikki Haley is to pull out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, the paper offers a snap analysis, with John McCormick writing: Haley was the first major candidate to challenge Trump for the nomination and the last to stand down, showing determination even as she came under significant attack by the former president and his supporters.
As she exits the race, it is hard to know whether Haley is part of the party’s future or a last gasp of more traditional Republicanism that favors a hawkish foreign policy, fiscal discipline and limited government.
The 52-year-old could still have a future in presidential politics, but her sharp criticism of Trump in the final two months of her campaign will likely make that challenging while he still has a hold on the party.
Super Tuesday was always seen as likely to make or break her campaign. She has lagged badly behind Donald Trump in Republican polling, and yesterday she won just 43 of the Republican delegates available, while Trump emerged with 764.
