Polls begin to close out West: Polls are now closed in more than half the country. Here’s an hour-by-hour guide to poll closings.
Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has announced her intention to vote for Donald Trump, her former opponent and former boss, in the upcoming 2024 US presidential election.
Haley, who previously served as Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations, was the final major contender to withdraw from the Republican primary contest in early March.
At the time of her withdrawal, she refrained from endorsing Trump, instead encouraging him to earn the votes of her supporters.
In her first public statement since exiting the race, delivered on Wednesday, Haley acknowledged that Trump “has not been perfect,” but characterised President Joe Biden’s tenure as a “catastrophe.”
Earlier this year, a significant portion of anti-Trump Republican voters supported Haley’s campaign. Despite her departure from the race over two months ago, her candidacy continues to garner support. She achieved over 20% of the vote in at least two state primary elections in the past fortnight.
The Biden campaign is actively courting these Haley Republicans, a demographic that includes moderate and college-educated independent voters, who could potentially influence the election in favour of the Democratic candidate. President Biden contends that Trump has consistently indicated he does not value the support of those who backed Haley.
