Republican candidate Nikki Haley withdraws from the race for the White House

On March 6, Reuters reported that former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley will soon announce her withdrawal from this year's White House race.

According to Reuters , Haley will deliver a speech at 10 a.m. on March 6 (local time) to talk about her goals in the upcoming election. Haley will also call on her supporters to support her opponent, former US President Donald Trump, in the 2024 election.

Also according to Reuters , Ms. Nikki Haley is Mr. Trump's biggest remaining rival for the Republican nomination. Ms. Haley's decision to withdraw means that Mr. Trump will win the Republican nomination, thereby once again facing Democratic President Joe Biden next November.

On Super Tuesday (March 5), Mr. Trump won in 14/15 states, including California and Texas. Meanwhile, Ms. Haley only won in Vermont.

Ms. Haley won the Republican primary in Washington, D.C., beating Mr. Trump by 62.9% to 33.2%.

She had previously lost to Mr Trump in all eight primaries. Reuters commented that the victory in Washington was a "small" symbolic achievement.

Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, incumbent President Joe Biden did not face any serious opponents on Super Tuesday.

So far, the 81-year-old president has won most of the Democratic votes.

According to Reuters , not many Americans like the scenario of Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden "rematching". Public opinion polls show that both politicians have low support rates among voters.

Therefore, the election in November is expected to continue to cause deep divisions within the United States. Mr. Biden sees his opponent as an existential threat to democracy, while Mr. Trump has always claimed that this accusation is baseless.

Mr. Biden, in particular, has one concern: the burden of age. Three-quarters of respondents to a February Reuters poll said Mr. Biden was too old to assume the role of American leader.

About half of those surveyed said the same thing about Mr Trump.
