Haley suspends bid for White House after suffering crushing defeats on Super Tuesday
Nikki Haley speaks during a news conference, Wednesday, March 6, 2024, in Charleston, S.C.

NIKKI HALEY, Donald Trump’s main rival for the Republican presidential nomination, suspended her campaign today, having been soundly defeated across the United States on Super Tuesday, as the day the most contests for nomination are held is known.

Mr Trump is now all but certain to face a rematch against President Joe Biden in November’s presidential election after the two rivals won more than a dozen states in Tuesday’s primary votes.

Giving a speech in Charleston, South Carolina, Ms Haley did not endorse the former president, instead encouraging him to win over the coalition of moderate Republicans and independents who supported her.
