In the end, it was simply the Trump factor that caused Haley’s comet to fall back to earth, as those in her orbit told The Epoch Times.

At Nikki Haley’s presidential launch in February 2023, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) called the former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the U.N. “America’s version of Margaret Thatcher.”

However, Ms. Haley’s goal of being elected America’s Iron Lady and first female president in 2024 ended on March 6 as she announced the end of her campaign following the death knell to her campaign on March 5, known as Super Tuesday, when she lost all but one contest.
