The details
Nikki Haley, the former United States Ambassador to the United Nations, has announced her decision to withdraw from the presidential race.
In her announcement, Haley did not endorse Donald Trump, the current President of the United States.
Instead, she emphasized her political positions and highlighted the importance of standing by allies in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
Political Positions
During her campaign, Haley predicted that the national debt would eventually crush the economy and demanded term limits for members of Congress.
She faced a disappointing performance on Super Tuesday, emerging as the last contender against the front-runner.
Haley campaigned on a more moderate platform compared to Trump and other Republican rivals.
Criticism and Controversy
However, Haley faced criticism for failing to acknowledge slavery as a primary issue in the American Civil War and claimed that the United States has never been a racist country.
She also campaigned on gun restrictions and abortion rights.
Despite her efforts, Haley may not have distanced herself enough from Trump during her campaign, as evidenced by her statement that she would pardon Trump if he were convicted of federal crimes.
Throughout the primaries, Haley took third place in the Iowa caucuses and lost the New Hampshire primary by an 11-point margin.
She finished behind “none of these candidates” in the Nevada primary but earned her first victory in Washington, DC. Despite her achievements, Haley only amassed 86 of the 2,429 Republican Party delegates and eventually lost her first-ever election.
One of the notable aspects of Haley’s campaign was that she became the first woman of color to run for the Republican nomination.
Despite her historic candidacy, America is now set for a rematch between Trump and Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election.
Additionally, Haley ruled out running as an independent candidate.
