Former South Carolina Governor-turned-U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley will announce the end of her 2024 presidential campaign on Wednesday following Donald Trump’s near-sweep of Super Tuesday states.
According to sources reported by multiple outlets, Haley will make her departure formal with a speech Wednesday morning in Charleston — but won’t endorse anyone else just yet.
Haley won’t announce an endorsement Wednesday, the people said. 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.
Haley’s announcement comes little more than a week short of the one-year mark of her February 15, 2023 entrance into the Republican primary.
Despite showing momentum in the previously crowded field of Trump alternatives seeking the GOP nomination in 2024 and staying in the contest longer than other challengers to Trump’s renomination, Haley proved unable to make the delegate math work on the road to July’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
