Washington — The 2024 Republican presidential primary campaign effectively ended a day after Super Tuesday, when former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley dropped her bid for the White House, leaving former President Donald Trump to claim the nomination and challenge President Biden in his quest for reelection to a second term.
The Iowa caucuses kicked off the nominating process on Monday, Jan. 15, when thousands of Republicans braved the bitter cold to gather and select their choice of a nominee. Former President Donald Trump placed first in Iowa, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis taking a distant second and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley close behind him.
Two days before the New Hampshire primary, on Jan. 21, DeSantis announced he was dropping his presidential bid and supporting Trump, leaving just Haley and Trump in the race for the GOP nomination.
