Sources: Nikki Haley planning to suspend presidential campaign

UNITED STATES (ABC NEWS/WOLO) – Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is planning on suspending her campaign for president in the wake of a slew of Super Tuesday losses, campaign sources tell ABC.

Although Haley won the primary in Vermont on Super Tuesday and won the Washington D.C. primary earlier, former President Donald Trump won the majority of the states Tuesday.

Haley will reportedly not immediately endorse former U.S. President Donald Trump though she is expected to deliver remarks to the press at 10:00 in Charleston, South Carolina.

One of the first to launch her 2024 bid, Haley is now the last to exit after more than a year of campaigning.

“America is not past our prime — it’s just that our politicians are past theirs,” Haley told a crowd of 1,500 people in Charleston, South Carolina, at her campaign’s launch. “We won’t win the 21st century if we keep trusting politicians from the 20th century.”

This now leaves leaving the former President as the last major candidate standing among Republicans, all but guaranteeing him the party’s nomination on his way to a likely rematch with President Joe Biden in November.

The Associated Press says Trump has 995 delegates so far. He needs 1,215 delegates to become the Republican nominee.
