Nikki Haley announced on Wednesday March 6 that she was ending her campaign for the Republican nomination in view of the American presidential election. “It’s now Donald Trump’s turn,” now alone in the running for the conservative party, “to deserve the votes of those, in our party and beyond, who did not support him and I hope he will do so”, she declared from Charleston, a city in the state of South Carolina of which she was governor.
The 52-year-old Republican, former American ambassador to the UN, was largely defeated on Tuesday during the “Super Tuesday” primaries, during which former President Donald Trump won 14 of the 15 states at stake among the Republicans.
Both the former head of state and current President Joe Biden called on Nikki Haley’s voters to join them. The billionaire, who is expected to be nominated as the Republican candidate at the party’s convention this summer, invited Nikki Haley’s supporters to rally “the greatest movement in history” the United States. The Democrat, also almost assured of being at the meeting in the November presidential election for his party, for his part affirmed that there was “a place for them” in his camp.
