Nikki Haley has officially ended her campaign after Super Tuesday, pledging to support the Republican nominee without formally endorsing former President Trump. Despite her efforts to distance herself from the MAGA movement, President Biden is now targeting her supporters in swing states, emphasizing that there is a place for them in his campaign. Trump, on the other hand, has openly mocked Haley on social media but extended an invitation to her supporters to join him.
The Washington Post editorial board characterized Haley's defeat as solidifying Trump's control over the Republican Party, dashing the hopes of never-Trump conservatives. Many of Trump's former challengers, including Governor Ron DeSantis and Senator Tim Scott, have rallied behind him, along with the outgoing RNC chairwoman, who declared full party unity behind Trump.
With over 90% support from Republican delegates, Trump is positioned as the presumptive nominee and is poised to secure the nomination after Georgia's primary. Trump and Biden are actively campaigning in Georgia, with Trump holding a rally in Rome and Biden targeting minority voters in Atlanta.
