Nikki Haley drops out of republican race, wishes Trump well

Just over a year ago I launched my campaign for president when I began I said the campaign was grounded in my love for our country just last week my mother a first generation immigrant got to vote for her daughter for president only in America I am filled with the gratitude for the

Outpouring of support we’ve received from all across our great country but the time has now come to suspend my my campaign I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard I have done that I have no regrets and although I will no longer be a candidate I will not stop

Using my voice for the things I believe in our national debt will eventually Crush our economy a smaller federal government is not only necessary for our freedom it is necessary for our survival the road to socialism is the road to ruin for America our Congress is dysfunctional

And only getting worse it is filled with followers not leaders term limits for Washington politicians are needed now more than ever our world is on fire because of America’s Retreat standing by our allies in Ukraine Israel and Taiwan is a moral imperative but it’s also more than that

If we ret treat further there will be more war not less as important while we stand strong for the cause of Freedom we must bind together as Americans we must turn away from the darkness of hatred and Division I will continue to promote all those values as is the right of every

American I sought the honor of being your president but in our great country being a private citizen is privilege enough in itself and that’s a privilege I very much look forward to enjoying 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 our country is too precious to let our differences divide us I have always been a Conservative Republican and always supported the Republican nominee but on this question as she did on so many others Margaret Thatcher

Provided some good advice when she said quote never just follow the crowd always make up your own mind it is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and Beyond it who did not support him and I hope he does that at its best politics

Is about bringing people into to your cause not turning them away and our conservative cause badly needs more people this is now his time for choosing I end my campaign with the same words I began it from The Book of Joshua I direct them to all Americans but

Especially to so many of the women and girls out there who put their faith in our campaign be strong and courageous do do not be afraid do not be discouraged for God will be with you wherever you go in this campaign I have seen our country’s greatness from the bottom of my heart

Thank you America God bless you
