Nikki Haley ends White House bid, clearing path for a Trump-Biden rematch

Mar 07, 2024

Columbia (South Carolina) [US], March 7: Nikki Haley ended her long-shot challenge to Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump on Wednesday, ensuring the former president will be the party's candidate in a rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden in November's election.
Haley, the former South Carolina governor and Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, bowed out a day after Super Tuesday, opens new tab, when Trump beat her soundly in 14 of 15 Republican nominating contests.
"The time has now come to suspend my campaign," Haley told supporters during a speech in Charleston. "I have no regrets."
She said it was likely Trump - who repeatedly belittled her candidacy - would be the Republican nominee but did not 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," she said. "And I hope he does that."
Drawing on her foreign policy experience at the U.N., Haley said it was important to continue U.S. global leadership. Throughout her campaign, Haley said the United States must help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression, a position at odds with Trump.

Many people often see education and investment belonging to entirely separate worlds. Education is regarded as a noble and essential expense, while investment is often perceived as a risky and uncertain venture. Many parents, particularly across Asian communities, view education as the greatest gift they can provide for their children, often pouring their life savings into tuition fees, overseas programmes, and enrichment courses.
