What Nikki Haley's 2024 announcement means for the Republican Party and Trump



After winning only one primary on Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race — but she stopped short of endorsing Donald Trump.

Rather than endorse the former president, she challenged him to win the support of those who supported her.

“It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. And I hope he does that,” Haley said in a speech in Charleston, South Carolina.

“At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people,” she added.

Stu Burguiere is actually in agreement with Haley.

“You don’t win any national elections without them, you will not win any national elections without the Nikki Haley faction of the Republican Party voting for, let’s say Donald Trump, who’s going to be the nominee,” Burguiere says.

Trump was able to get all those votes in 2016 and most of them in 2020.

Glenn Beck doesn’t think this is too far-fetched.

“20% of those who voted for Biden in 2020 say they will vote for Trump,” Glenn explains.

“I think the people who voted for Haley will end up voting for Trump just because the alternative is Hillary Clinton. Everything that we said Hillary Clinton would do, they’re doing. In fact, on steroids,” he adds.

Trump defeats Haley in Michigan Republican presidential primary



Former President Donald Trump's winning streak continued as he won the Michigan Republican presidential primary on Tuesday.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who has failed to defeat Trump in any of the Republican presidential nominating contests so far, remained in the race even after losing her home state to Trump last week. She has said that she has "no interest in a third-party candidacy."

As Trump continues to rack up wins, he appears to be poised to easily clinch the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

"Another MASSIVE win! Congratulations President Trump on tonight's victory in Michigan. Another step closer to MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. (P.S. Nikki, it's time to DROP OUT!)," GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas tweeted.

"Congratulations to President Trump for a decisive win in the Michigan primary. I'm hoping that sooner rather than later the Republican presidential primary will end so we can unite with President Trump as our nominee. He is the candidate who will defeat Joe Biden in the Fall and will get America back on track quickly. It is clear to me that the Republican Party faithful are behind President Trump in all corners of the country. It's time to move on to the general election," Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina stated in a post on X.

Ryan Binkley, a little-known candidate who failed to gain traction during the GOP nominating contest, announced on Tuesday that he was suspending his campaign and backing Trump. "Today, I am suspending my campaign for the Presidency of the United States of America and offering my endorsement and unwavering support for President Trump," Binkley noted in social media posts.

On the other side of the political aisle, President Joe Biden easily won in the Michigan Democratic presidential primary.

Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, who, according to the results so far, performed worse than the "uncommitted" option, tweeted. "If you resent me for the audacity to challenge Joe Biden, at least you'll appreciate how relatively strong I'm making him look among primary voters!"

Republican voters utterly humiliate Nikki Haley in Nevada primary: 'There will be more to come'



Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley lost to no one in particular by a landslide in Nevada's Republican primary this week.

While the non-binding contest Tuesday does not award any of the state's 26 Republican delegates — which are alternatively awarded in Thursday's GOP caucus — the humiliating result nevertheless served as another bleak omen for Haley, who maintains the race is "far from over" despite trailing former President Donald Trump in the polls by well over 50 points.

Trump was not on the Republican primary ballot, as he was instead focusing on winning the Nevada GOP's caucus later this week, where Haley is not competing. The Republican front-runner's absence left Haley, former Vice President Mike Pence, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and handful of relative unknowns to duke it out among themselves for the largely symbolic prize.

Haley ultimately secured 30.8% of the vote. "None of these candidates" secured over twice as many votes, receiving 62.9%. Pence came in a distant third place with 4% of the vote.

Among the Nevadans to reject Haley and the other named candidates was Gov. Joe Lombardo (R), who indicated he would opt for "none of these candidates."

Washoe County Republican Party Chair Bruce Parks, a champion of the Thursday caucus, reportedly told voters to do likewise.

"They basically told us they don't care about us," Parks said after Haley's defeat. "By marking 'none of these candidates,' we respond in kind — we don’t care about you either."

Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald intimated Haley's alleged contempt for Nevada voters was "reciprocated" Tuesday night.

McDonald told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, "I think the Republican voters spoke, and there will be more to come Thursday night."

The Nevada GOP chairman also shared a post on X from KTNV-TV's Steve Sebelius indicating that "not since the Democratic gubernatorial primary of 2014 has a candidate suffered such a humiliating defeat to None of These Candidates. But at least that one was close!"

Despite her candidate losing to nobody in particular, Haley spokesman Olivia Perez-Cubas said the campaign is "full steam ahead in South Carolina and beyond," reported the Associated Press.

Trump gleefully mocked the former ambassador, writing, "A bad night for Nikki Haley. Losing by almost 30 points in Nevada to 'None of These Candidates.' Watch, she'll soon claim Victory!"

Haley noted on X Tuesday night, "Even on our worst days, we are blessed to live in America."

Ahead of the embarrassing vote, Haley's campaign manager, Betsy Ankney, pre-emptively suggested the presidential nomination process in the state was "rigged," reported The Hill.

"In terms of Nevada, we have not spent a dime nor an ounce of energy on Nevada," said Ankney. "We made the decision early on that we were not going to pay $55,000 to a Trump entity ... to participate in a process that was rigged for Trump."

"So Nevada is not and has never been our focus. Truly not sure what the Trump team is out to there, but they seem pretty spun up about it. But we are focused on South Carolina," added Ankney.

The South Carolina GOP primary will be held on Feb. 24.

Trump defeats Haley in New Hampshire Republican presidential primary



Former President Donald Trump won the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary, defeating Nikki Haley, who previously served as U.S. ambassador to the U.N. during a portion of Trump's White House tenure.

While New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu had endorsed Haley, polls had been indicating that Trump had a lead heading into the Granite State contest.

Undeclared voters could also vote in the primary. "An undeclared voter may vote in a state primary or a presidential primary," according to the New Hampshire secretary of state website. "You will be required to choose either a Democratic or Republican ballot when you go to vote."

Trump's New Hampshire victory came after he won the Iowa Republican presidential caucuses last week.

After Vivek Ramaswamy placed fourth in Iowa, he swiftly dropped out and endorsed Trump. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who placed a distant second behind Trump in Iowa, announced on Sunday that he was suspending his campaign and endorsing the former president. Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who dropped out after barely earning any votes in the Hawkeye State, has expressed support for Haley.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who launched then later dropped his own presidential bid last year, recently endorsed Trump. Haley appointed Scott to the U.S. Senate more than a decade ago while she was serving as South Carolina governor.

There was also an unsanctioned Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire on Tuesday.

"January 23rd is a non-binding presidential preference event and is meaningless and the NHDP and presidential candidates should take all steps possible not to participate," Minyon Moore and James Roosevelt Jr., co-chairs of the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee, declared in a letter earlier this month to New Hampshire Democratic Party chair Raymond Buckley. "No delegates or alternates shall be apportioned based on the results of the January 23, 2024 event."

While President Joe Biden did not appear on the Democratic presidential primary ballot in New Hampshire, voters could write him in.

WSJ editorial board suggests DeSantis drop out to allow for 'one on one' Trump vs. Haley showdown



The Wall Street Journal editorial board has opined that if Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis believes former President Donald Trump cannot win the 2024 presidential contest, he should drop out of the GOP primary so that former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley can face off against Trump.

"Mr. DeSantis faces no clear path to the nomination. He's well behind Ms. Haley in New Hampshire and South Carolina. If he believes, as he says, that Mr. Trump can't win in November, he should leave the race and give Ms. Haley a chance to take on Mr. Trump one on one," the WSJ editorial board wrote.

Trump trounced other GOP presidential hopefuls during the Iowa Republican presidential caucuses on Monday while DeSantis came in a distant second place and Haley came in third.

Vivek Ramaswamy, who swiftly dropped out and endorsed Trump after a poor showing in Iowa, spoke at a Trump rally on Tuesday.

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who beat Trump and others during the 2016 GOP Iowa presidential caucus, announced that he thinks the "race is over" and that he is "proud to endorse" Trump. "I look forward to supporting him enthusiastically," Cruz said.

Polls indicate that Trump is the frontrunner in next week's New Hampshire GOP presidential primary, with Haley, who has been endorsed by New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, trailing in second place.

"Ms. Haley has pursued a strategy of appealing to Republicans who either don't like Mr. Trump or are open to someone else, and that helped her finish a close third in Iowa," the Journal's editorial board wrote. "She has a chance to make a race of it in New Hampshire on Jan. 23, which is why Mr. Trump is attacking her so aggressively on TV."

IOWA RECAP: Does any candidate have a chance at beating Trump?



The 2024 Republican Iowa caucuses have come to an end, and former President Donald Trump has secured his position as the frontrunner with 51% of the vote and 20 delegates.

Ron DeSantis snagged the runner-up spot with 21.2% of the vote and eight delegates, closely followed by Nikki Haley with 19.1% and seven delegates.

Vivek Ramaswamy finished at 7.7% and three delegates before dropping out of the race.

Now, there’s a new poll out for New Hampshire that has Donald Trump and Nikki Haley tied at 40%.

“Among those groups she does very, very well, and those groups win by wide, wide margins, and that will help there. But it won’t help her in these other states,” Stu Burguiere tells Glenn Beck.

“If you go back six months, this is a dream result for Nikki Haley,” he adds.

However, Burguiere thinks DeSantis is the real one to watch.

“He is going for the voters that like Donald Trump, and he got about 20% of that 70% of voters,” he continues, adding, “However, Nikki Haley, you know really is looking at these 70% of voters who really like Donald Trump and getting almost none of them.” .

“If you can’t get any of those voters, you have really no path to the nomination,” he adds.
