Super Tuesday knocked the remaining stuffing out of Nikki Haley and her beleaguered presidential campaign.
From the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday morning:
“Nikki Haley plans to suspend her Republican presidential primary bid in a speech Wednesday morning, people familiar with her plans told The Wall Street Journal.
The former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador is expected to make an appearance to deliver brief remarks in the Charleston, S.C., area around 10 a.m. ET. Her decision arrived the day after Super Tuesday, when she won only Vermont among 15 states that held GOP contests.
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.”

As of Wednesday morning, Donald Trump was projected to reach 1,015 delegates after Super Tuesday to Haley’s 88. 1,215 are needed to secure the nomination making the former president only a whisker away from formally winning the primary, though with Haley’s departure Trump now becomes the unequivocal presumptive nominee of the GOP for 2024.
