The Republican Party Nikki Haley plans to drop out of the Republican presidential race.

It was first reported by an American newspaper The Wall Street Journal citing their sources. Later, several other media, such as the news agency Reuters, have confirmed the matter based on their sources.

Haley decided to end her campaign last night, her aide says the news channel for CNN. According to the aide, Haley had set a goal for the Super Tuesday primaries to win about 40 percent of the vote in several different states. However, Haley only achieved this goal in Vermont.

Trump will gather a sufficient number of delegates for the presidential nomination in the coming weeks. Officially, Trump’s candidacy will be confirmed at the Republican convention in July.

Haley will speak at 5 p.m.—not expected to endorse Trump

Haley is expected to give a speech in the city of Charleston in her home state, South Carolina, at 5 p.m. Finnish time.

In her speech, Haley is expected to confirm the end of her presidential campaign. However, he is not expected to immediately give his support to Trump, but to urge the former president to earn the trust of Haley and the people who voted for him.
