    Nikki Haley stood down her campaign but didn’t actually conceed. she’s still technically in the running for president. so i imagine it would default to her

      Yeah, my theory for why she stayed in so long was because she was waiting to see if one of his trials caused him to drop out. Also, my understanding is that political parties aren’t obligated to select the candidate primary voters choose, and the leadership could just go into a back room and pick whoever they like.
