Trump vs. Joe biden in 2024. He did not win in vermont and now has 995 delegates to haleys 89. That puts him about 220 shy of the number needed which is 1,215 to clinch the nomination. That could happen march 19th, two weeks from yesterday, dana . Dana i have been impressed with your arithmetic in the last 48 hours. It is excellent Fox Team Coverage all morning long. Jackie is at the white house and Kayleigh Mcenany standing by with us in studio. Lets get to bill in South Carolina with the Haley Campaign as we await this announcement. Bill . Bill yeah, dana, good morning to you. Any minute now, nikki haley is expected to take that stage and announce she is dropping out of this race. Were told the speech is going to be quick. About four minutes. That she is not going to endorse donald trump. She is instead going to urge him to earn the support of the republicans and independents who currently dont support him right now. But think about how far weve come with this Haley Campaign. When she first announced, there were over a dozen republican candidates in this primary. She started out by pulling in about 1 . Here we are. Super tuesday, the day after, she was the last one standing against donald trump. And her Campaign Highlights the only state that she won was vermont but look at what she did in other ok, were getting a two minute warning right now, guys. Look at the states that she did well in, and some of those states getting 30 to 40 of the vote. It wasnt enough to beat donald trump but it is enough to cause donald trump Serious Problems in november if those voters dont come home. So you get the sense from the Haley Campaign that before any kind of potential endorsement, they want to see some sort of outreach from trump to see that nikki haleys voters concerns are being addressed in some way. Shes expected to say she gave voters a serious legitimate nontrump alternative in this primary. But that primary race for her is now coming to an end in less than two minutes from now. Well send it back to you. Bill thank you, stand by down there in South Carolina. One thing of note, when Ambassador Haley was working for President Trump, she was one of the rare Cabinet Members who was given a goodbye ceremony in the oval office. Dana yes. Bill and their relationship was very strong at that point. And some have suggested it may not be strong again. Dana i think it could be. Bill i would dare say it probably will. Theres plenty of time to make that happen. Dana remember this, one of the things she would say is shes never lost a race until today. Its pretty impressive run. I first met her, i believe, in 2010 when she was running for governor and did a piece for sean hannity called pink he will Elephants Back in the day. Other thing she said at the start of this campaign when there was a dozen candidates, she said i will get this to a two person race and she did. Bill we talked to the trump team last hour. And we asked jason miller whether or not the two have talked. And didnt get a complete answer out of it. He said listen, this is a time to celebrate what donald trump did last night and what trump did in the states is quite phenomenal. You look at big states like california and texas and North Carolina it was all red last night. Dana here she is. Bill here we go. Good morning. Just over a year ago, i launched my campaign for president. When i began, i said the campaign was grounded in my love for our country. Just last week, my mother, a first generation immigrant, got to vote for her daughter for president. Only in america. I am filled with the gratitude for the outpouring of support weve received from all across our great country. But 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. Our National Debt will eventually crush our economy. A smaller federal government is not only necessary for our freedom, it is necessary for our survival. The road to socialism is the road to ruin for america. Our congress is dysfunctional and only getting worse. It is filled with followers, not leaders. Term limits for washington politicians are needed now more than ever. Our world is on fire because of americas retreat. Standing by our allies in ukraine, israel and taiwan is a moral imperative. But its also more than that. If we retreat further, there will be more war, not less. As important while we stand strong for the cause of freedom, we must bind together as americans. We must turn away from the darkness of hatred and division. I will continue to promote all of those values as is the right of every american. I sought the honor of being your president. But in our great country, being a private citizen is privilege enough in itself. And thats a privilege i very much look forward to enjoying. In all likelihood, donald trump will be the republican nominee when our Party Convention meets in july. I congratulate him and wish him well. I wish anyone well who would be americas president. Our country is too precious to let our differences divide us. I have always been a conservative republican and always supported the republican nominee. But on this question, as she did on so many others, Margaret Thatcher provided some good advice when she said never just follow the crowd. Always make up your own mind. It is now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. And i hope he does that. At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for choosing. I end my campaign with the same words i began it from the book of joshua. I direct them to all americans, but especially to so many of the women and girls out there who put their faith in our campaign. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged for god will be with you wherever you go. In this campaign, i have seen our countrys greatness from the the bottom of my heart, thank you, america. God bless you. Bill age 52, former governor, two time governor there in South Carolina. Former u. N. Ambassador in new york. Nikki haley exits the stage to her right saying that she will be a private citizen. Well see how long that stands up. Couple of key lines right there. I congratulate donald trump. I wish him well. I have never not supported a nominee. And our conservative cause now needs more people. Dana she also talked about something shes been talking about since when she first ran for governor and even before that which is government spending. She says smaller federal government is necessary for our freedom and for our survival. I also thought it was touching she talked about her mother who was an immigrant who got to vote for her daughter in a president ial election. That is pretty significant. She also said that it is a privilege to be a citizen of this country. And she wants americans to bind together. Bill so if youre thinking at home and if youve been saying to yourself for months, and youve been talking to your neighbor and as we said on the five, youre at the car wash. Youre at the bar and somebody turn to you and said is it really biden and trump . You can now say to your friends who are questioning that. It is biden and it is trump come november. And donald trump is going to try to do something that hasnt been done since 1893 Grover Cleveland is the only u. S. President that has run and won nonconsecutive terms as u. S. President. It would be something. You think about the road that donald trump has now taken to get to the point where he is now. If he were to win in november, it would be one of the most dynamic political stories this country has ever seen. One of them, top three, top five. We can debate that down the road. And we will not know that outcome now for seven months and dana 29 days. Theres the arithmetic again. I want to bring in our panel. Kayleigh mcenany is with us and katie, you were here with us last night. This news this morning comes forward and katie, what do you make of that speech . I would also say if youre going to dismount, to do it with a classy speech that is short and to the point where she doesnt mess it up with like taking a bunch of questions and she exits the stage, i thought it was a classy way to do it. Indeed, as a candidate, nikki haley has talked a lot about joe biden being a threat to the country. That he needs to resign. She talks about Kamala Harris and the detrimental things she would do if he were to win a second term because she believes he was on his way out. She discussed all the issues in her speech that she thinks are a threat to freedom, too much debt, big government, socialism. She said the world is on fire as a result of american weakness on the world stage. Then she said im leaving this race as a private citizen. As a private citizen, like everyone else, she will have to make the choice about which candidate, donald trump and joe biden, like everyone else, is better suited to handle those problems and its been a tough campaign. It was a short primary really in The Grand Scheme of things. And theres a lot of times between now and the convention for some talk and healing and discussion about the issues that donned trump has and the suburban voters he needs to bring back into the fold. When she talks about growing the party, theres a lot of room to do that especially as joe biden continues to lose a lot of his coalition. Dana especially if you look, for example, in texas last night, the democrats who did not turn out for biden. Bill kayleigh, your reaction . Kayleigh nikki haley deserves a lot of credit. Nikki haley is the first republican woman to ever win a primary. She is arguably the most successful woman to ever run in president ial politics. I think that goes without question. She deserves a lot of credit for that. Look, i would say to her, there is a Cautionary Tale and that Cautionary Tale is ted cruz. Ted cruz waited to endorse President Trump until september of 2016. Ted cruz took the Republican National Convention Stage in Quicken Loans Arena and he said vote your conscience. Very similar to kind of that Margaret Thatcher quote she gave there and he got booed to which he had to say i appreciate the enthusiasm of the new york delegation. So i dont think the ted cruz playbook is the way to go. I would love to see her give a speech, you know, ive previously said, shes a Vice President ial possibility. That ship may have sailed. To her point yesterday, she said primaries, we get to make a choice. General elections we are given a choice. Well, the choice now is the chaos and destruction of joe biden or the peace and prosperity of donald trump. Dana she was really the first person in the race, i thought, to zero in on Kamala Harris and she said we are actually running against her. Shannon bream, of course, our host of Fox News Sunday joins us as well. Shannon, your reaction to nikki haleys speech . Shannon well, that line, i wish any american president well was it reminded me of shades of sort of ron desantis when the governor got out and said i took a pledge and i will honor it. Nikki haley didnt go that far. Shes not giving the half hearted endorsement. Well have to see. I think this is about her maintaining or trying to retain whatever power she thinks she has within some wing of the g. O. P. To say youre going to have to earn it. I do think eventually shell come along and will give an endorsement. I think these wounds are very fresh and thats going to take time. But remember, her unfavorables kept ticking up the more she went head to head and went after trump, they kept ticking up signalling the base of her party didnt want her attacking trump. They didnt, most of them, accident want to hear what she had to say going after him signalling this g. O. P. At least the bulk of it is trumps party for now. Where she finds her place going forward, well have to see. A lot of these folks, though, as weve talked about that voted for her in the primaries were not g. O. P. Members. So to say that theyre going to come home, these were open primaries, the g. O. P. May not have been their home anyway. So theres work to do. I agree that she could be very helpful in expanding the base he currently has. Bill katie was just talking about expanding that and look at some of the polling that came out yesterday as a result of these primary votes, they found among africanamericans that joe biden gets 66 which youre home and thinking thats sizable. In previous elections, for a democratic candidate sometimes that number is greater than 90 . President trump doesnt have to shave off a huge percentage of that. He gets 5 and he can beat joe biden among africanamericans and among hispanics, biden is only winning 49 . As dana pointed out in texas, that number is amazing considering they think theyre in the bag especially given this illegal immigration issue. One thing i was looking at last night in terms of the results in michigan of the uncommitted vote, 100,000 plus people. We talk about President Trump needing to bring more people into the party. Who will joe biden have to cater to in order to keep his coalition together in a state like michigan . That is being led by the Democratic Socialist Rasheeda Talib . Why are mad at him . Hes taking the side of a terrorist organization that slaughtered people on october 7th. Hell have to defend that. And when you have the administration trying so hard to Dig Biden Out of this hole that he has dug himself without a ladder on all of these issues, time is ticking on big things that he can do to change. Bill i would add to that. Not just michigan because its going to be a Battleground State but in minnesota last night, it appears to be a Battleground State also because youre in double digits for people who went there and voted for a noncommitted candidate in a democratic primary. Kayleigh in North Carolina, too, one of the most interesting things about the uncommitted line, there was not really an organized effort in many of these states. You had the democrats socialists of america, whatever kind of power they had saying we endorse uncommitted. This was organic in a way that michigan was a little more organized. Joe biden definitely has a problem. But if im President Trump, i dont want to count on that. I want to try to bring in this nikki haley voter. I think thats why this Vice President ial pick was so important. I heard jason miller say virginia is in play. I think hes right. He should consider someone like governor glenn young, a poll came out, his favorability is skyhigh in virginia. Over 50 in one poll i saw where you have biden and trump locked in at 35 favorability. Pick a guy that can move a state. Dana let me ask shannon about that. Shannon, this is going to be the Long Est General Election that ive been a part of and i wonder about the next big thing will be a Vice President ial pick on his end, maybe some announcements about debates or not. And then the convention. So from your perspective, looking at it, you know, from the Fox News Sunday perspective because you can take a longer view. How do we get through the next several months . How does President Trump and President Biden go at each other for this long . Shannon theyre going to burn through a lot of cash which is one of the concerns were sort of hearing bubbling up from the trump side of the equation. They know theyre going to continue spending millions if not tens of millions on his legal fees. And he allegedly was meeting with elon musk trying to bring in some money. Looking for other big donors. Theyve got to replenish what theyve spent and be ready for, as you said, probably the l longest General Election that weve had in our lifetimes. I would note in the polling some of what you cited there, theres been a shift and it doesnt have to be much away from key blocks from Biden To Trump under 30. Youve seen the white house try to appeal with Student Loans and those kinds of things. But Younger Voters are not happy with where they are on whats happening in gaza. Also suburban women, theres been a little bit a shift away from Biden To Trump. Thats a place where nikki haley could be helpful. Shes been the one trying to be out there having this conversation about abortion. We need to be, you know, have a heart for women who find themselves in this place and need to find a better way to talk about it. Thats a kind of thing she can be helpful with. Bill shannon, stand by. I want to get to the white house right now and check in with jackie and get reaction from what we hear from the biden team now. And jackie, good morning. Welcome to our program. Hello. Good morning, bill. We just got a statement from President Biden a few moments ago
