She voiced doubts regarding his age. His state of mind. His ability to govern in the face of 91 criminal accusations. Nevertheless, in the contest for the US presidency, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley lost to former President Donald Trump. She made the announcement on Wednesday that she was going to halt her campaign, allowing Trump to win the Republican Party candidacy. However, experts claim that her unlikely candidacy illustrates just how solid Trump’s hold on the party has grown. However, her campaign provided a voice to the concerns held by certain Republicans.
Osita Nwanevu, a US political journalist, told Al Jazeera that “there is some angst in elite Republican circles that Trump comes with a lot of baggage and that they could do better with someone else.” “Haley was the candidate who best represented the worry that the party might suffer if it continued to support Trump.” However, the message only struck a small number of moderate voters. Following Super Tuesday primary results, Haley declared the suspension of her campaign. Only one of the fifteen states up for grabs—left-leaning Vermont—was secured by her.
In the end, Haley lost the race on Wednesday, receiving only 89 party delegates as opposed to Trump’s 995. Who gets nominated by the party is eventually decided by delegates. “When our party convenes in July, Donald Trump is almost certain to be the Republican nominee. Haley wished him well and congratulated him in her announcement on Wednesday. Haley, however, refrained from endorsing Trump and urged him to win over supporters who might be dubious of his campaign. She declared, “It is now Donald Trump’s responsibility to win over the votes of our party’s opponents and others.”
