South Carolina (Reuters) -Nikki Haley ended her long-shot challenge to Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump on Wednesday, ensuring the former president will be the party’s candidate in a rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden in November’s election.

Haley, the former South Carolina governor and Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations bowed out a day after Super Tuesday, when Trump beat her soundly in 14 of 15 Republican nominating contests.

“The time has now come to suspend my campaign,” Haley told supporters during a speech in Charleston. “I have no regrets.”

She said it was likely Trump – who repeatedly belittled her candidacy – would be the Republican nominee but did not endorse him.
