Nikki Haley plans to suspend campaign after one win on Super Tuesday


Nikki Haley, former President Donald Trump’s last standing rival in the Republican race for the 2024 presidential nomination, achieved a victory in Vermont on Super Tuesday, March 5. However, despite this win, multiple sources have confirmed that it was insufficient to sustain her campaign. Haley is expected to suspend her campaign Wednesday, March 6, marking Vermont as only her second win this election cycle, following a previous victory in Washington, D.C.’s primary.

Reports say Haley is not expected to endorse Trump. She is, however, likely to call on Trump to reach out to her supporters, both Republicans and independents.

In Vermont, Haley garnered 50 percent of the vote, outpacing Trump, who received 46 percent. The state had 17 delegates available for the Republican candidates.

Following the results of the night, a spokesperson for Haley, the former United Nations Ambassador, released a statement addressing the division within the Republican Party: “Unity is not achieved by simply claiming ‘we’re united.’ Today, in state after state, there remains a large block of Republican primary voters who are expressing deep concerns about Donald Trump. That is not the unity our party needs for success.”
