Nikki Haley Ends Presidential Run; Mitch McConnell Endorses Trump

HeadlineMar 07, 2024

Nikki Haley suspended her presidential campaign Wednesday after losing all but one state to Donald Trump on Super Tuesday. Haley declined to endorse Trump, or any other candidate, as she announced the end of her campaign.

Nikki Haley: “In all likelihood, Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee when our party convention meets in July. I congratulate him and wish him well. … It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. And I hope he does that.”

President Biden made a pitch to Haley’s supporters, saying, “I know there is a lot we won’t agree on. But on the fundamental issues of preserving American democracy, on standing up for the rule of law, on treating each other with decency and dignity and respect, on preserving NATO and standing up to America’s adversaries, I hope and believe we can find common ground.”

On Capitol Hill, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who is leaving his leadership post in November, endorsed Donald Trump. In 2021, McConnell said Trump was “morally and practically responsible” for the January 6 insurrection and called Trump’s actions a “disgraceful dereliction of duty.”

In more related news, the Supreme Court has set April 25 as the date to hear arguments over whether Trump is immune from criminal prosecution for trying to overturn his 2020 election loss.
