Joe Biden Vs Donald Trump In US Elections As Nikki Haley Likely To Drop Out Of Presidential Race: Report

Indian-American candidate Nikki Haley is expected to announce her exit from the Republican presidential primary race in the United States, CNN reported on Wednesday.

Haley’s exit leaves former US President Donald Trump as the only contestant in the Republican primary, who will then face Democrat President Joe Biden in the presidential elections, scheduled in November.

Both Trump and Haley were campaigning vigorously in various Super Tuesday states, making a last-minute pitch to the Republican voters.

However, as per national polls, former president Trump was leading by more than 60 percentage points on average in various national polls, as per RealClearPolitics. No political pundit was giving Haley, 51, any chance against Trump, the most popular politician in the Republican party in recent times.

Despite facing scores of legal battles and embarrassing indictments, Trump is attracting thousands of Republicans to his rallies, while the numbers at Haley’s events are far less.

To win the presidential nomination of the Republican party, either of the two candidates needed 1,215 delegates, who are elected during the primaries. So far, Trump already had 244 delegates in his kitty, while Haley’s strength stood at 43, as per PTI.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who dropped from the presidential race earlier, has nine delegates, and Indian American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has three.
