In a shocking turn of events, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has hit a major roadblock on her path to the presidency. Super Tuesday is just around the corner, and it seems that Haley’s hopes for the GOP nomination are dwindling. Despite her refusal to drop out before Super Tuesday, it appears that the majority of voters are still firmly in favor of former President Donald Trump, the leading candidate.
Haley seems to believe that Trump’s success in the early primary contests is a sign of weakness and a warning that he cannot win the general election in November. However, with 15 states holding GOP contests on Super Tuesday, the odds are stacked against Haley. Several states will not award delegates proportionally to the result, potentially leaving Haley with zero delegates in winner-take-all states if Trump continues to dominate the vote.

With 874 delegates at stake on March 5, Trump already leads Haley with 122 delegates after a series of victories. Trump’s campaign even projected that he could win 773 delegates on Super Tuesday, further solidifying his lead in the race for the nomination.
Haley’s campaign, on the other hand, remains hopeful and is aiming to win as many Super Tuesday delegates as possible. They are focusing on states with open or semi-open primaries, such as Virginia, Texas, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Vermont, where they believe Haley can perform well. However, with Trump’s overwhelming lead and the possibility of delegate-rich states like California and Texas swinging in his favor, Haley’s chances are narrowing.
It’s clear that Haley will face an uphill battle on Super Tuesday and beyond. With Trump’s campaign confident in their projections and the majority of states likely to lean in his favor, the former ambassador’s path to the White House may very well come to an end by mid-March, when Trump is projected to reach the delegate threshold for the presumptive nomination.
