Nikki Haley And Donald Trump: Nikki Haley has dropped out of the Republican Presidential race thus clearing the way for fellow Republican and former US President Donald Trump.
Nikki Haley will now stop her presidential campaign, leaving Donald Trump as the last major Republican candidate in the US Presidential Election, reported AP on Wednesday adding that her quitting clears Trump to focus on his likely rematch with US President Joe Biden in November.
Trump is on track to reach the necessary 1,215 delegates to clinch the Republican nomination later this month.
Nikki Haley was a candidate in the 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries and won the Washington, D.C. primary on March 3, 2024, with which she became the first woman to win a Republican presidential primary in U.S. history.
Nimarata Nikki Haley, née Randhawa, served as the 116th governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017 and as the 29th United States ambassador to the United Nations from January 2017 to December 2018.
She is the first Indian American to serve in a presidential cabinet.
Haley was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 2004 and served three terms. In 2010, during her third term, she was elected governor of South Carolina.
Haley was South Carolina’s first female governor and the second U.S. governor of Indian descent, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana.
In January 2017, Haley resigned as governor to become U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in the administration of Donald Trump.
Haley announced her campaign for President of the United States in February 2023. After the Iowa caucuses, Haley and Trump became the only remaining major candidates in the Republican primaries.
With her opting out, only Donald Trump is in contention.
