(MAGANews.org) – Following a series of defeats on Super Tuesday, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley formally halted her presidential candidacy on Wednesday.
Haley thanked her first-generation immigrant mother for allowing her to cast her presidential ballot. Still, she stated that it was now appropriate to stop her campaign.
“I am filled with 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. I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard. I have done that. I have no regrets,” she said, explaining that she will continue to use her voice for things she believes in.
Haley briefly reiterated her belief that the national debt will “eventually crush our economy” and said a “smaller federal government is not only necessary for our freedom; it is necessary for our survival.”
“The road to socialism is the road to ruin for America. Our Congress is dysfunctional and only getting worse. It is filled with followers, not leaders. Term limits for Washington politicians are needed now more than ever,” she said, emphasizing that she believes America must stand by allies in “Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan,” deeming it a “moral imperative.”
“We must bind together as Americans. We must turn away from the darkness of hatred and division. I will continue to promote all those values, as is the right of every American,” she continued. “I sought the honor of being your president, but in our great country, being a private citizen is privileged enough in itself.”
Haley acknowledged that “Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee when our party convention meets in July.” Still, she refrained from endorsing the former president after spending weeks bashing him on the campaign road.
“I congratulate him and wish him well. I wish anyone well who would be America’s president. Our country is too precious to let our differences divide us,” Haley said, deeming herself a “conservative Republican” and referencing Margaret Thatcher.

“It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him,” Haley said. “And I hope he does that.”
Haley only wins two primary contests during her campaign, one in Vermont and one in the swamp around Washington, DC.
And now it’s official…
Former President Donald J. Trump will be the 2024 Republican presidential nominee.
President Trump and the MAGA Movement must prevail!
