Nikki Haley’s exit from the GOP race pushes off — again — the day Americans could elect a woman president.
AP reports: "Without endorsing Trump, Haley withdrew from the contest with a shoutout to the women and girls who supported her, and by quoting a woman who did make it to the top in a democracy — Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first female prime minister."
After #Trump tallied victories in Texas, California and 12 other states, #NikkiHaley was expected to drop out of the presidential race, according to people familiar with her plans. She was set to deliver remarks in Charleston, S.C., at 10 a.m. ET”
"Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will announce Wednesday that she is exiting the Republican presidential race, according to sources familiar with her plans, clearing the path for former President Donald Trump."
#NikkiHaley scored her first state victory of 2024 w/ a win in #Vermont. Voters in 15 states are participating in primaries or caucuses. Democratic congressman #AdamSchiff & former pro baseball player #SteveGarvey (R) will advance to November’s #election in the #Senate race for the #California seat previously held by Dianne Feinstein, the Associated Press projects.
@GottaLaff Well, looks like #FlopsweatMcBrainSpurs couldn't quite clinch it this time. Congratulations to #NikkiHaley on winning the Vermont Republican Primary. It's shaping up to be an interesting race ahead!
Haley has won the #Republican#primary in the District of Columbia. Her victory Sunday at least temporarily halts #Trump’s sweep of the #GOP voting contests, although he is likely to pick up several hundred more delegates in this week’s Super Tues races.
Haley gewinnt überraschend US-Vorwahl in Washington
Die republikanische Präsidentschaftsanwärterin Haley hat die Vorwahl der Partei im Hauptstadtbezirk District of Columbia gewonnen. Der erste Sieg gegen ihren Rivalen Trump ist größtenteils symbolischer Natur.
#NikkiHaley on #Trump’s cases: “We need to know what's going to happen before it, before the presidency happens, because after that, should he become president, I don't think any of it's going to get heard.”
The best-case interpretation of Nikki Haley's campaign:
"The longer Haley stays in, the more she becomes a rallying point for Republicans who do not wish to be ruled by a degenerate cult. And the more Republicans grow accustomed to opposing Trump, the more precarious his situation becomes. A wave of Democratic voters might be needed to swamp Trump. But only a trickle of Republicans, withholding their support, can achieve a similar result."
I don’t blame her at all. This whole fantasy is nothing other than insider garbage.
#NikkiHaley: I have not put a second of thought into an independent run because I’m a Republican. I'm not going to switch over and have a Democrat vice president.
#POTUS#Biden is planning to make a visit to the southern #border on Thurs, acc/to 2 people briefed on the plans, traveling to Brownsville, #Texas, on the same day that #Trump has scheduled a border trip.

Koch knows that #NikkiHaley never stood a chance, but gave him plausible cover as he prepares to spend hundreds of millions to end American democracy and raise his #FourthReich fascist #GOP dream.

The decision by Americans for Prosperity Action is another setback for Ms Haley after another Trump victory.
