Former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley announced on Wednesday that she is ending her campaign for the Republican nomination, adding that Donald Trump must “win the votes” of conservatives who did not vote for him, AFP and Reuters reported.

Nikki Haley, who was decisively defeated in the Super Tuesday primaries in which the former president won 14 of the 15 states up for grabs, made the announcement from Charleston, South East, South Carolina, where he was governor .

Nikki Haley, however, robbed 77-year-old Donald Trump of the Grand Slam by winning Vermont, a sparsely populated state on the border with Canada.

Donald Trump has almost achieved a rematch with Joe Biden after his triumphant victory in the “Super Tuesday” primaries. The former president, a candidate in the November election, won nearly every state up for grabs on the big election day, including California, North Carolina and Texas.

On the other hand, Democratic President Joe Biden, 81, is running for a second term and faces no serious opposition. Unsurprisingly, he won every state for his party on Tuesday, handing an anecdotal defeat to a prominent unknown from American Samoa.
