| 0:00.0 | The 2024 Republican presidential primary is officially over as Nicki Haley |
| 0:05.7 | suspends her campaign clearing the last hurdle for President Trump to clinch the |
| 0:11.1 | nomination. We all knew it was coming, as I mentioned on the show yesterday, |
| 0:16.1 | and Nicky made her formal announcement just moments after our show wrapped yesterday. |
| 0:21.3 | But as I said then, the interesting thing about Nicky's concession was never |

| 1:17.1 | done that. I have no regrets and although I will no longer be a candidate, I will not stop using my voice for the things I believe in. |
| 1:27.0 | So that was the reasoning. The reasoning was we promised to give voters a choice, and we did. |
| 1:34.0 | We made it to Super Tuesday, |
| 1:36.0 | voters had their choice, |
| 1:38.0 | and they chose Trump. |
| 1:39.0 | So then, the question for Nicki was, |
| 1:42.0 | would she follow the voter's decision? |
