Nikki Haley, former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador, is reportedly planning to suspend her Republican presidential campaign Wednesday, following underwhelming results in Super Tuesday, according to sources familiar with the matter. Her withdrawal from the race would leave former President Donald Trump as the likely GOP nominee.
Haley’s remarks regarding her future in the race will be delivered in Charleston at 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday, as advertised by CNN. Her decision follows a disappointing Super Tuesday, during which she won only in Washington, D.C., and Vermont.
Multiple news agencies have reported on Haley’s expected exit from the race, leaving Trump and incumbent President Joe Biden poised for a potential rematch from their 2020 contest. Despite facing a challenging path to the nomination, Haley’s continued efforts until Wednesday made her the last Republican candidate to remain in contention apart from Trump.
