The Republican presidential nomination appears to be all wrapped up as former President Donald Trump’s last challenger is reportedly ending her campaign.
Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley is reportedly expected to suspend her campaign after Trump dominated the Super Tuesday primary states, winning 617 delegates. That gives him 893 of the 1,215 delegates he will need to officially clinch the nomination.
Haley won just 23, and only won Vermont.
And on Tuesday, she did not hold a public event after the votes were counted and her campaign declined to send out information about ad spending in future states, as it had done after previous primary elections.
The Wall Street Journal reports Haley is not expected to immediately offer an endorsement of Trump.
Instead, it reported, “She will encourage Donald Trump, who is close to having the delegates needed to win the GOP nomination, to earn the support of Republican and independent voters who backed her.”
“She is expected to emphasize that she will continue to advocate for the conservative domestic and foreign policies she supports and caution against some of the dangers, such as isolationism and a lack of fiscal discipline, that she sees coming from Washington,” it added.
Haley is expected to announce her decision around 10 a.m. on Wednesday.
And it will likely cement a re-match between Trump and President Joe Biden in November.
