The former United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, announced her withdrawal from the Republican Party nomination race for the upcoming U.S. presidential elections scheduled in November.

The decision to withdraw came after former US President Donald Trump swept the Republican vote on Super Tuesday, and it is this decision that will ensure that Trump wins the Republican nomination and faces Democratic President, Joe Biden, again in the November election.

“It’s time for me to cancel my campaign, congratulate Trump and wish him well,” Haley said, noting that “it’s now up to Trump to win votes from inside and outside the party, who didn’t support him.”

While Trump won 14 of the 15 states in the party’s primaries on Super Tuesday, Haley thwarted his chance for a landslide victory with her victory in Vermont.

US television stations reported that Trump won in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, California, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Utah.

Haley, a former governor of South Carolina and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, was Trump’s first major challenger since February 2023 and spent the final phase of her campaign strongly warning the Republican Party against supporting Trump, who she said was too preoccupied with the trials and political chaos he caused.
