The Republican National Committee (RNC) congratulated former President Donald Trump on becoming the presumptive GOP nominee on Wednesday following Nikki Haley formally suspending her presidential campaign.
After a string of losses on Super Tuesday — losing 14 of 15 states — Haley ended her campaign Wednesday morning. In the past, she said she would continue as long as she saw a viable path and even laid that out following her loss in New Hampshire in January. At the time, her campaign made it clear in a memo that she would largely count on non-conservative voters in open primary states to thrust her to the nomination.
“After Super Tuesday, we will have a very good picture of where this race stands,” the memo read.
