Calls intensified for former Gov. Nikki Haley to withdraw from the GOP primary race following her second-place finish in New Hampshire, trailing behind former President Donald Trump.
Some Republicans argue that it may be beneficial for Haley to withdraw from the race in order to concentrate all GOP resources on defeating President Joe Biden. Republicans have invested a significant amount of money in their campaign efforts in New Hampshire and Iowa, despite not achieving the desired outcome. They are also planning to allocate additional funds for future primaries.
Despite Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) dropping out of the race on Sunday, Haley’s chances of securing the nomination did not seem to get any better. Indeed, the endorsement of Trump by Gov. Ron DeSantis had a significant impact on rallying support for the former president. This put pressure on Haley to reconsider her campaign, which was still in its early stages. In every state except New Hampshire, Trump maintains a commanding lead of at least 30 points.
“Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on a significant victory in the New Hampshire Primary for #Trump2024!” House Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) shared an update on X. “It would be beneficial for Nikki Haley to withdraw from the race in order to shift our attention towards defeating Joe Biden and safeguarding America.” The Trump administration continues to make progress, with President Trump working tirelessly to improve the country.

According to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Trump is now considered the unofficial GOP nominee going forward. “Congratulations to President Trump on another impressive victory in New Hampshire and securing the nomination of our party,” he said.
Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) expressed her congratulations to Trump on his significant victory Tuesday evening. It comes as no surprise that @realDonaldTrump emerged victorious in New Hampshire by a significant margin. Voters are responding positively to President Trump’s message. It is inevitable that 45 will eventually become 47. Well done, Mr. President!
Trump will be the GOP nominee

The CEO of the Federalist, Sean Davis, advised Haley to reconsider her decision, warning that continuing her campaign would result in her being heavily influenced by left-wing Democrats.
If Nikki Haley wants to maximise her chances of defeating Joe Biden in November, it would be wise for her to withdraw from the race and throw her support behind Trump. If she persists in remaining in a race that is clearly unwinnable solely for the purpose of criticising Trump, it will become evident that she is completely beholden to the left-wing Democrats who are financing her campaign,” he stated.
Social media influencer Ryan Fournier suggested that Haley consider withdrawing from the race. Nikki Haley is determined to stay in the race, stating that it is far from being over. It is been evident from the beginning. You all predicted the worst outcome for Trump in order to secure victory. “It is time to let go,” he stated.
Nate Cohn, the chief political analyst at the New York Times, stated on Monday that the polling clearly indicates Haley’s forthcoming withdrawal from the race. This would allow Trump to shift his attention towards defeating President Joe Biden. According to him, unless there is a significant change in the race, he will quickly secure the nomination.
According to Fergus Cullen, a former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party and a supporter of Haley, her prospects are seen as inadequate and belated. She needed to inspire and engage unaffiliated voters, but I have not witnessed her taking the necessary steps to connect with that audience and mobilise them in the numbers required.
