USA, Nikki Haley withdraws from presidential race. 'But Trump will have to earn my support'

Nikki Haley is also withdrawing. Thus, among the Republicans, only Donald Trump remains in the running: and it will be he who will challenge the incumbent Joe Biden in the elections for the presidency of the United States to be held next November. Everything as it has been written for months, and barring events - these are now unpredictable - that in the coming months could affect the campaign for the White House of two elderly presidents: Biden is 81 years old, the Donald is 78. While the investigations of the judiciary continue to hound Trump and one after the other, before the autumn, proceedings will begin in the courtroom with very serious accusations, starting with the role played by the former national-populist president in the revolt that led his supporters to storm the US Congress on 6 January 2021, immediately after the defeat suffered (and never digested) by the tycoon by Biden himself.

The American right-wing base decided to support Trump anyway and without any doubt. Even Nikki Haley had to admit this after Super Tuesday. "The time has come to suspend my campaign, I have no regrets," said the former US ambassador to the UN, from Charleston in South Carolina, the day after the decisive primary election Tuesday, in which she was decisively beaten by Trump in 14 of the 15 states, only managing to prevail in Vermont.

"Nikki Haley was defeated , overwhelmingly," Trump commented on Truth after Super Tuesday, claiming that "much of her money came from radical left-wing Democrats, as did many of her voters, nearly 50 per cent, according to the polls."
"Yesterday's," the former president stressed, "was the most successful Super Tuesday in history, and I would also like to invite all of Haley's supporters to join the greatest movement in history. Then the right-wing leader's now foregone conclusion: 'Biden "is the enemy and he is destroying our country".

Haley urged Trump to also take into account the moderate part of the Republican electorate. And after the bitter clashes, with heavy accusations and insults, of recent months, while congratulating the former president on his victory, she urged him to earn the support of those who supported his campaign. "Trump has to earn my votes. It is now up to him to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond: and I hope he does," he said. "As Margaret Thatcher once said," he added, addressing his supporters, "never follow the crowd, follow what you think is right.

Haley also warned against American isolationism that risks leading to new wars and reiterated her call for the US to be active on the international stage and support Ukraine's cause. In a rather overt attack on Trump, the now former Republican nominee reminded that for the US and Americans to 'stand by our allies in Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan' is a 'moral imperative': 'If we withdraw, there will be more wars,' she explained.
