Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, once touted as Donald Trump’s main challenger for the GOP nomination, is set to suspend her 2024 presidential campaign after a crushing defeat on Super Tuesday, multiple reports confirm.

Despite a year-long effort and securing just two primary victories in Washington, D.C., and Vermont, Haley has finally thrown in the towel. Sources reveal that she will make the announcement during a speech in Charleston, South Carolina, relinquishing any chance of becoming the Republican nominee to face Joe Biden in November.

It’s important to note that Haley won’t be extending her immediate endorsement to Trump, according to well-informed insiders.
The former governor’s lackluster performance resulted in zero wins across the early nominating states. Iowa saw her secure a distant third place, while in New Hampshire and her home state of South Carolina, she barely managed to snag second place. Even more embarrassingly, Haley found herself behind the “None of These Candidates” option in the Nevada primary, which held no significance in terms of delegates. Furthermore, the former governor suffered losses in the Michigan primary, as well as in Idaho and Missouri.

In a resounding blow, Trump overwhelmingly defeated Haley with an astounding 84.6% to 14.2% margin in the North Dakota caucus on Monday. And with his spectacular sweep of nearly all the Super Tuesday contests announced the next day, Trump’s dominance remained unquestionable. The only consolation for Haley came in the form of a slim victory in the reliably blue state of Vermont, where she secured a mere 49.9% compared to Trump’s 45.9%.

Despite her lagging poll numbers and a string of defeats, Haley stubbornly clung to her campaign, claiming to provide Republican primary voters an alternative option to Trump.
However, the RealClearPolitics (RCP) average for the 2024 national Republican primary, based on polls conducted between Feb. 13 and Feb. 28, made it evident that Trump held an unassailable lead of 63 points over Haley.
Haley’s campaign revolved primarily around economic and foreign policy, proudly showcasing her records as South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador under the Trump administration. Surprisingly, her bid attracted a considerable number of liberal voters and Democratic donors who sought an alternative to both Trump and Biden.
In a potential rematch for 2024, Trump currently holds a 2.3-point lead over Biden in the RCP average, cementing his position as the Republican frontrunner.
