Indian American Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley announced her decision to end her campaign for the highest post in the White House on March. 6.
“I am filled with the gratitude for the outpouring of support we’ve received from all across our great country, but the time has now come to suspend my campaign,” Haley said addressing a crowd in Charleston, South Carolina.
“I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard. I have done that. I have no regrets,” she said, adding that while she is no longer a candidate, she will always continue to advocate for things she believes in.
Haley did not explicitly state that she endorses Donald Trump for president in her speech. “In all likelihood, Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee when our party convention meets in July. I congratulate him and wish him well," she said calling on Trump to win the backing of her supporters – those belonging to the Republican party and beyond—to help the conservative cause prevail in the November 5 election against the Democrats.
“At its best politics is about bringing people into your cause not turning them away And our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for choosing,” the former UN ambassador said, referring to Trump.
Haley’s decision to exit the race comes after a series of losses in the Republican contests on Super Tuesday. Former President Donald Trump, who dominated Haley in the Republican primaries across the country, won 14 of the 15 GOP contests on Mar.5.
However, Haley who “vowed to stay in the race until Super Tuesday,” managed to create history as the first Republican woman to win two primary contests— Vermont and the District of Columbia.
