After Nikki Haley suspended her presidential campaign following poor Super Tuesday results, the RNC congratulated Donald Trump on becoming the presumptive GOP nominee.
Haley had said she’d continue if seeing a viable path, but lost 14 of 15 states.
The RNC statement praised Trump for his primary victory and Haley for running hard.
“After Super Tuesday, we will have a very good picture of where this race stands,” the memo read.
RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel said Republicans are united to defeat Biden, as Trump delivered a strong economy previously.
“Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump on his huge primary victory! I’d also like to congratulate Nikki Haley for running a hard-fought campaign and becoming the first woman to win a Republican presidential primary contest,” McDaniel said.
“President Trump once delivered a booming economy, secure border, energy independence, and America’s strength on the world stage, the exact opposite of the chaos created by Joe Biden,” she added.
“Republican voters have spoken loud and clear with historically large margins and we are more united than ever to beat Biden and Democrats up and down the ballot in November,” McDaniel said.
Haley did not endorse Trump in her departure, wishing anyone well as president, but said Trump must earn broader support.
Trump invited Haley and her backers to his movement against Biden, declaring him the enemy destroying the country.
“In all likelihood Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee when our party convention meets in July. I congratulate him and wish him well. I wish anyone well who would be America’s President,” Haley said.
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,” she added.
“BIDEN IS THE ENEMY, HE IS DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” Trump said.
