Hey this is Alan. I'm in Kacchanabali, Thailand recovering from rotator cuff surgery I had in Bangkok. I'm just about to take a

stroll on the railroad tracks on the bridge over the river Quay. This podcast was

recorded at 1138 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, March 6th, 2024.

Things may have changed by the time you hear the show.

Hopefully, a train will not have crossed the tracks at the same time I was trying to walk on them.

Enjoy the whistle.

Am I the only one who's old enough to remember that?

I've watched that movie.

Having just helped my husband through rotator cuff surgery about a year ago,

I wish him well in a good recovery. Yeah hey there it's the NPR

politics podcast I'm Ashley Lopez I cover voting I'm Sarah McCammon I cover the

presidential campaign and I'm Mara Lion National Political Correspondent.

The campaign for president has taken another turn.

Nicky Haley is out,

leaving Donald Trump the presumptive Republican nominee. Last night's results from the Super Tuesday election made it clear that there is no path forward for the former UN ambassador

and South Carolina governor. She addressed a room of her supporters this morning in

Charleston, South Carolina. The time has now come to suspend my campaign. I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard. I have 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.

Sarah you are there in Charleston you made it up there very early this morning
