Trump’s Republican rival and Former South Carolina Governor, Nikki Haley, announced on Wednesday that she was exiting the Republican presidential race.
She urged former President, Donald Trump to “earn” the support of voters who backed her.
Trump is now the only candidate in the Republican presidential race.
“The time has now come to suspend my campaign. I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard. I have done that. I have no regrets,” Haley said during remarks in Charleston, South Carolina, following a series of losses in Grand Old Party nominating contests on Super Tuesday.
A report on CNN said Haley congratulated Trump in her address but did not endorse him.
“It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes, of those in our party and beyond it, who did not support him. And I hope he does that,” she said.
Sources familiar with her plans told the CNN before her speech that Haley’s approach appeared to leave room for her to endorse Trump ahead of the general election.
