Nikki Haley will suspend her campaign Wednesday without making an endorsement, according to a report. Sources familiar with the former South Carolina governor’s plans told The Wall Street Journal that she will make a brief speech at 10 a.m. ET in the Charleston area, the morning after she won just one of 15 states that held Republican nominating contests on Super Tuesday. Instead of immediately endorsing Donald Trump, the sources said, she will instead call upon Trump to earn the support of the voters who have backed his candidacy. Haley is also reportedly expected to say that she’ll still fight for conservative causes and warn against challenges including those relating to isolationism and fiscal policy. The former U.N. ambassador recently declined to reaffirm a vow she had taken to endorse whoever becomes the 2024 GOP nominee, telling Meet the Press on Sunday that she no longer feels obligated to take the Republican National Committee’s loyalty pledge because “the RNC is now not the same RNC.”
