TONIGHT AS THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE TAKES SHAPE. WITH NIKKI HALEY OUT, THE STAGE IS SET FOR A HISTORIC REMATCH BETWEEN FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN. THE TIME HAS NOW COME TO SUSPEND MY CAMPAIGN, THE FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR AND UN AMBASSADOR ENDING HER BID FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. SHE CONGRATULATED. TRUMP, WISHED HIM WELL AND REFUSED TO ENDORSE HIM. 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 HAD A WEAK SHOWING ON SUPER TUESDAY, WINNING ONLY THE STATE OF VERMONT PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD BIG NIGHTS. WE’RE GOING TO WIN THIS ELECTION BECAUSE WE HAVE NO CHOICE. GOP LEADERS NOW RALLYING TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S SIDE, SENATE MINORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL ENDORSED TRUMP, EVEN THOUGH THE TWO HAVEN’T SPOKEN IN YEARS SINCE THE SENATOR BLAMED TRUMP FOR THE JANUARY SIX ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL ON FEBRUARY THE 25TH, 20 AND 21 SHORTLY AFTER THE ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL, I WAS ASKED A SIMILAR QUESTION AND I SAID I WOULD SUPPORT THE NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT EVEN IF IT WERE THE FORMER PRESIDENT. NOW, THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN IS TRYING TO APPEAL TO HALEY’S SUPPORTERS. SO IF YOU AGREED WITH NIKKI HALEY, WHEN SHE STOOD UP TO TRUMP FOR THINGS LIKE ELECTION DENIALISM OR THE CHAOS AND THE VISION THAT HE REPRESENTS, THERE IS, IN FACT, GOING TO BE A HOME FOR THEM IN JOE BIDEN’S CAMPAIGN. NOW, THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IS ALSO TRYING TO APPEAL TO HALEY’S VOTERS. HE’S INVITING THEM TO JOIN WHAT HE CALLS THE GREATEST MOVEMENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE NATION. AND HE’S ALSO CALLING ON PRESIDENT BIDEN

"Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me and not assume that they’re just going to be with him. And I genuinely hope he does that.”Haley shuttered her own bid for the GOP nomination two months ago but did not immediately endorse Trump.
