ADA, OH (WLIO) - Donald Trump's final Republican rival, Nikki Haley, dropped out of the race after she saw a disappointing Super Tuesday.
Nikki Haley has suspended her presidential campaign. The former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador did not endorse former president Trump but called on him to bring Republicans together. Haley was Trump's first GOP challenger and the only woman in the race. Haley says she will continue to use her voice to support what she thinks needs to be done for the United States.
"Our national debt will eventually crush our economy. A smaller federal government is not only necessary for our freedom, it is necessary for our survival. The road to socialism is the road to ruin for America. Our Congress is dysfunctional and only getting worse. It is filled with followers, not leaders. Term limits for Washington politicians are needed now more than ever," commented Nikki Haley.
As the nominations are pretty much set with Trump and Joe Biden, could there be a strong third emerge come November?
"It's kind of a unicorn out there at this point to see if there is a third party that might come to the rescue. Robert F. Kennedy, obviously, is running as a third party candidate," says Dr. Rob Alexander, ONU Political Science Professor. "He has attracted some attention, but it doesn't look like he has raised much above 5%, 6%, so maybe protest votes on Kennedy. But, again not really a strong campaign there."
Biden's challenger Dean Phillips also suspended his campaign. Biden and Trump will get their official nominations this summer during the Democrat and Republican conventions.
