Nikki Haley has ended her White House bid, virtually ensuring Donald Trump will be the 2024 Republican nominee.

“The time has come now to suspend my campaign. I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard. I have done that,” Haley said in a speech Wednesday morning, hours after the last Super Tuesday results were tabulated.

The 52-year-old then congratulated Trump, 77, but didn’t go as far as to endorse him — instead challenging him to get her supporters on his side.

“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,” Haley said.

Meanwhile, President Biden issued an invitation to Haley voters to consider joining his campaign.

“Donald Trump made it clear he doesn’t want Nikki Haley’s supporters. I want to be clear: There is a place for them in my campaign. 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,” the Democrat said in a statement.

The former South Carolina governor had said she would stay in the race if she remained “competitive,” but kept a noticeably lower profile ahead of Tuesday’s contests in 15 states.

The campaign had long said Super Tuesday — where 865 GOP delegates were awarded — would be a critical point in the race and that her path to victory against Trump would be an “uphill battle.” Haley barnstormed the country after suffering defeat in her home state of South Carolina on Feb. 24, telling supporters in Washington on Friday she was “going to fight for Super Tuesday.”

The suspension announcement was first revealed by the Wall Street Journal earlier Wednesday morning and came after Haley only won Vermont during Tuesday’s primaries, with Trump beating her in 14 other states.

Haley made no public appearances Tuesday and spent the night huddled with staff watching returns near her South Carolina home.

Haley’s withdrawal effectively hands the Republican nomination to Trump, in whose administration she served as ambassador to the United Nations for 23 months.

She had repeatedly criticized the former president on the campaign trail and claimed she was the only Republican who could beat President Biden in the general election.

Haley often touted that she was especially popular among moderates and college-educated voters, a demographic that may play a pivotal role come November.

Her campaign, however, failed to gain enough momentum to properly challenge the former president, with Haley’s only other victory coming on Sunday when she won the Washington, DC, primary. 

Following Haley’s defeat on Tuesday, campaign spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas warned that the GOP was far from unified under Trump. 

“Today, in state after state, there remains a large block of Republican primary voters who are expressing deep concerns about Donald Trump,” Perez-Cubas. “That is not the unity our party needs for success.”

Trump had notably declared that Haley’s donors would be permanently banned from his “Make America Great Again” movement, and it remains unclear if he will revoke that ban if she endorses him. 

Haley began the 2024 race by coming in third in the Iowa causes, narrowly behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, but more than 30 percentage points behind Trump.

Haley’s campaign had maintained she was gaining “momentum” after coming in second 11 percentage points behind Trump in New Hampshire, noting she had taken in a record-breaking $4 million in the days after the Jan. 23 primary.

Critics pointed out that Haley’s strong showing in the Granite State had been boosted by high support from independents and Democrats — levels which were not likely to be matched in other nominating contests.

That criticism was borne out after Haley fell to Trump by 20 percentage points in South Carolina, and followed that up with consecutive losses in Michigan, Idaho and Missouri before finally winning the nation’s capital primary by nearly 30 points.

The former UN envoy was brought back to reality Monday night with another crushing defeat in the North Dakota caucus before being buried in Tuesday’s landslide.

Before being defeated in her home state, Haley also suffered a wave of criticism after losing to “none of these candidates” in Nevada’s non-binding primary, while Trump swept to an uncontested victory in the Feb. 8 Silver State caucus.

Haley launched her campaign in February 2023 and was polling in the single digits as the race appeared set up as a battle between Trump and DeSantis.

However, with Trump absent from each of the primary debates, Haley benefitted from strong performances at DeSantis’ expense — with the big-spending Sunshine Stater exiting the race Jan. 21 and endorsing the 45th president.

Haley stressed that she agreed with many of Trump’s policies, but argued that”chaos follows him” and his legal problems would render him unable to effectively serve another four years.

She firmly rejected the prospect of being Trump’s running mate in response to persistent rumors she was on the former president’s VP short list, despite initially playing coy about the possibility.

“I have said from the very beginning I don’t play for second, I don’t want to be anybody’s vice president. That is off the table,” Haley told a voter in New Hampshire, according to Politico.

“I have always said that. That is a game they play that I’m not going to play,” she added. “I don’t want to be vice president.”

The former UN ambassador also threw cold water on the possibility of running on the third party No Labels ticket.

“I’m a Republican,” Haley told reporters Friday morning in Washington. “If I were to do No Labels, that would require a Democrat. I can’t do what I wanted to express with the Democrats.”
