Nikki Haley's "Zombie Campaign" Threatens Trump's White House Bid

She has not endorsed the 77-year-old former president and told supporters after dropping out that "it is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes".
She abandoned her White House ambitions two months ago, yet Nikki Haley is still taking a significant chunk of votes in presidential primary contests -- underlining a persistent refusal among a sizable bloc of Republicans to get behind Donald Trump.
In his latest victory over Haley in Indiana on Tuesday, the polarizing tycoon romped home with 460,000 votes -- but he only notched 78 percent support, an underwhelming tally for a former president essentially seen as an incumbent.
In Marion County alone, the highest populated part of the state that includes Indianapolis, Haley won 35 percent -- a particularly sobering outcome for Trump, given that his rival dropped out after the March 5 "Super Tuesday" primaries.
