Super Tuesday has not been good for Nikki Haley.
Her poor performance has sparked calls for her to drop out of the primary.
There are growing calls for Nikki Haley to drop out of the presidential primary race as former President Donald Trump appears to be scooping up victory after victory.
Fifteen states voted in their respective primaries on Tuesday: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia. As of 9:30 p.m. Eastern, Trump had won Colorado, Texas, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Maine.
So far in the GOP primary Haley has scored one victory, in the Washington, DC, swamp, and as it looks like Trump continues in his victory streak, there are increased calls for Haley to drop out.
An Op-Ed published in The Hill was titled “Super Tuesday has ended Nikki Haley’s campaign. Will she accept it?” said of Super Tuesday “the outcome is already abundantly clear. Donald Trump won, and Nikki Haley lost.”
Super Tuesday is all but over. They are still voting in a couple of western states, but the voters have spoken from Virginia to Oklahoma and from Maine to Texas, and the outcome is already abundantly clear. Donald Trump won, and Nikki Haley lost.
There is no gray area and there are no silver linings. Trump’s victories were universally expected. Now the question is how long it will take for Haley to accept reality and drop out.
Haley had a dream of being president. Now it’s time to wake up from that dream. It is not going to happen in 2024. Tuesday’s results aren’t really the deal-breaker, because she never had momentum or a shot. No poll showed her anywhere close to having majority support among Republicans, ever. But they should serve as her last chance at a graceful exit.
In sports, you play to the end, no matter the score — either until the clock runs out or until the final out. That sports analogy does not apply to politics, where it pays to know you’ve been beaten. Dropping out at the right time is key to winning again later.
Laura Ingraham also said Nikki Haley is done.
Laura Ingraham on why Nikki Haley doesn’t have a chance:
“She’s represented the Bush wing of the party better than anyone.”
“Right now, I don’t think there’s a big audience for that, there’s some, but not enough…It’s a populist party, and right now it’s Trump’s party.” pic.twitter.com/YOOSAD5vSU
