Haley unmoved amid growing calls to leave 2024 race and back Trump
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is facing growing calls for her to leave the 2024 presidential race as the Republican National Committee (RNC) nearly considered a resolution to declare former President Trump the party’s presumptive nominee for president in 2024.
Trump trounced his rivals with convincing wins in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary this month, and experts agree there is likely little hope for Haley, the only alternative to the former president remaining in the race, in the upcoming South Carolina primary despite it being her home state.
Here’s a snapshot of where the battle to lead the Republican Party stands.
DELEGATE COUNT AFTER NEW HAMPSHIRE:
- Trump: 32
- Haley: 17
- DeSantis: 9
- Ramaswamy: 3
DELEGATES NEEDED TO WIN: 1,215
DELEGATES REMAINING: 2,368

ONE NEW GOP BATTLE: Haley’s campaign campaign lashed out at the Republican National Committee and its chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, on Thursday over a draft resolution that was nearly considered by the party to declare former President Donald Trump the presumptive GOP nominee. The resolution was later withdrawn after Trump expressed gratitude to those supporting it in a post on Truth Social, but said he felt the nomination should be won through the voters.
ONE NEW ENDORSEMENT: The United Auto Workers on Wednesday endorsed President Biden for a second presidential term. “Joe Biden bet on the American worker, while Donald Trump blamed the American worker,” UAW President Shawn Fain said as the group caps its three-day gathering in Washington, D.C., to map out its political priorities. “We need to know who’s going to sit in the most powerful seat in the world and us win as a united working class. So if our endorsements must be earned, Joe Biden has earned it.”
As for Trump, he’s received more than 120 House Republican endorsements – the majority of the House GOP Conference and far outpacing former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley’s one backer. But several senior House Republicans have yet to weigh in despite mounting calls to unify behind the former president.
ONE NEW POLL: Biden suffered a historically unpopular third year in the White House, according to a new survey. Gallup’s examination of data from a dozen polls found Biden has an average approval rating of 39.8%. The result is the lowest approval rating for a president in his third year since Carter in 1974, when the former president suffered a 37.4% average rating.
ONE NEW ULTIMATUM, ONE BIG CASH HAUL: Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley responded to former President Donald Trump’s dismissal of donors who had contributed to her campaign by flashing some cash. Trump had taken to his social media site Truth Social to warn Haley’s donors that they would be frozen out of the MAGA community. Haley responded on X, saying, “Well in that case… donate here. Let’s Go!” Haley wrote, as she added a link to her online fundraising page. It appears that donors responded. The Haley campaign claims that $1 million in online donations had been made in the 24 hours since her speech in New Hampshire.

Man arrested over alleged antisemitic threats to Gov. Josh Shapiro | The Jerusalem Post
Richard John Franklin, 65, had reportedly visited the district office to seek assistance with paying outstanding taxes.
While being helped by a staff member, he began using antisemitic slurs directed at Governor Shapiro and threatened to commit arson at the governor’s mansion, police stated.
After making these threats, state troopers from the Political Violence Threat Unit met with Franklin at his home later that day, where he provided inconsistent accounts of the incident at the district office, CBS News reported.
According to the police report, Franklin admitted to using an antisemitic slur and claimed that his statements about burning the governor’s mansion were ‘sympathetic’ and ‘positive in nature’ because the Governor and his family had previously survived an arson attack.
Franklin was taken into custody and charged with terrorist threats, ethnic intimidation, harassment, and disorderly conduct.
He was taken to Pennsylvania’s Delaware County Prison after he was unable to post $100,000 bail, and scheduled for a preliminary hearing next week, according to CBS News.
Shapiro and his family had previously survived an arson attack last year while celebrating Passover.
Their residence was set on fire overnight, prompting the family’s evacuation.
This previous attack was reportedly motivated by Shapiro’s perceived stance on Palestine.
The attacker, Cody Balmer, called 911 shortly after the incident occurred early on a Sunday morning, identifying himself and telling the operators that Shapiro needed to know he “will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people,” according to the police search warrant.
Reuters and the Jerusalem Post Staff contributed to this report.
