Nikki Haley plans to suspend her Republican presidential primary bid in a speech Wednesday morning, people familiar with her plans told The Wall Street Journal.
The former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador is expected to make an appearance to deliver brief remarks in the Charleston, S.C., area around 10 a.m. ET. Her decision arrived the day after Super Tuesday, when she won only Vermont among 15 states that held GOP contests.
Haley won’t announce an endorsement Wednesday, the people said. She will encourage Donald Trump, who is close to having the delegates needed to win the GOP nomination, to earn the support of Republican and independent voters who backed her.
She is expected to emphasize that she will continue to advocate for the conservative domestic and foreign policies she supports and caution against some of the dangers, such as isolationism and a lack of fiscal discipline, that she sees coming from Washington.

I hope she doesn't do like the men did and faun over him immediatly. e.g. Tim Scott. Trump is a terrible human being and as much as I love conservitive policies, I can never support a man of his character. He, and this should not be normalized.
But you are OK with Biden's character?
@9CJ6CB63mos3MO
He’s a better character, he wins with ease on that side.

I just can't unseen those videos of him sniffing eight-year-old girl's hair, or him calling a high-up Klansman a hero.
@9CJ6CB63mos3MO
Well I can’t forget the bragging about assaulting people from trump, the cheating on his wife like a thousand times, the obvious lying about being a Christian, the many thousands of contradictory statements, and so much more. In the list of things, one is cleaner, not perfect., and that’s Joe.
I’m with you! I really hope she just goes and endorses down ballot Republicans. Don’t bend the knee to Trump.

How could she drop out of a race that she was never in.
@PretzelsAlexandraDemocrat3mos3MO
Unlike those “brave men” who quit a month ago and kissed DJT’s ring, Governor Haley fought on.
@HonorableCrackersNo Labels3mos3MO
Its in your hands now father time and mother nature, please deliver us from these horrid, acrid choices. A natation of 330 million with some of the smartest and most industrious people on earth led by the single lowest quality, octogenarian candidates each side could muster ?!
@S3nateChamoisLibertarian3mos3MO
If ever there was a viable chance for a third-party unity ticket in this country it is now....right NOW! No Labels said all along it would wait until Super Tuesday and only move if it was going to be Trump v Biden. So here we are. Let's Go!
@Patriot-#1776Constitution3mos3MO
No one's surprised that this fascist neocon is also a backbiting traitor and refuses to fulfil her OATH to support the GOP NOMINEE, who is obviously going to be DONALD J. TRUMP. But I am glad this WARMONGER is no longer dividing the Republican Party with her baseless attacks on Trump. The GOP is united – and we're coming for Biden!
@9KLLXYGRepublican3mos3MO
Kinda weird that a republican wont support a republican
@9KLTTGR3mos3MO
Nikki Haley is a spawn of Satan and the Republican party saw that. She had no chance from the start and her whole campaign was just a waste of money. I'm glad that she ceased using good resources for her outdated NeoCon agenda that can be used to help trump save the country.
Trump has lost a solid 5-10% of Republicans that simply will not vote for him (me included). Good luck trying to make that up with suburban moms and independents.. GOP will keep losing national elections until Trump is gone.

It is more of a political aspect that will change the future drastically in America. So do the other issues but this is more relevant.
@9KLXQ2Z3mos3MO
She could make history as the first woman president.
I think it shows that even those of certain parties don't agree with other members of the party all of the time, and that you don't have to support someone just because of their alignment. Massive step for American political radicalization.
