Goodbye to Haley the Hawk

No, she hasn't dropped out. But it's abundantly clear from the New Hampshire primary results—54.5 percent for Donald Trump, 43.2 percent for Nikki Haley, at the time of publication—that she has no chance, and that Donald Trump is set up to secure the Republican presidential nomination.

"A majority of the Republican Party appears to be consolidating around Trump," writes Reason's Christian Britschgi. "The past couple of days also saw him collect the endorsements of former opponents Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, and Doug Burgum." Haley, meanwhile, couldn't even nab a Chris Christie endorsement, and quite a few of her "campaign surrogates seem disappointed in her performance," argues Britschgi. "Politico captured some awkward moments where New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a Haley backer, had to watch his candidate flub interview questions while he whispered alternative answers to himself."
