Trump must earn our votes, Haley says as she quits presidential race

International

Nikki Haley has suspended her presidential campaign, making Donald Trump the last Republican left in the race.

She said she had “no regrets” and congratulated Trump – but said he must now “earn the votes” of people who did not support him.

It comes after President Joe Biden and Trump swept the state primaries that were held on Super Tuesday, setting them on course for a rematch in November.

The pair are now vying to appeal to Haley’s supporters – with Biden saying he has a “place for them” and Trump inviting them to join his movement.

Biden won Democratic nominating contests in 14 states – plus Iowa, where people voted by post – but lost in the territory American Samoa by 11 votes.

Meanwhile, Trump won 14 Republican contests – although Haley secured a surprise win in Vermont.
