Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley dropped out of the 2024 presidential race after a defeat on Super Tuesday, unable to unseat Trump as the party’s standard-bearer. Her campaign gained traction after a breakout debate performance and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ exit from the race, but she ultimately lost to Trump in South Carolina. One fatal flaw may have been her refusal to commit to supporting Trump if he were convicted of a felony. Despite her efforts, Trump has all but secured the party’s nomination for a third time. Haley’s campaign serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by anti-Trump Republicans in the current political landscape.
