She had come to represent the last, best chance for Republicans hoping to turn the page on Trump’s divisive brand of politics. Haley, Trump’s first ambassador to the U.N. and a former governor of South Carolina, had tried to paint her former boss as an aging, mentally unsound agent of chaos. But she was unable to loosen Trump’s grip on the Republican Party, and lost in all but one state in Super Tuesday’s elections. Haley pointedly declined to endorse Trump when she announced she was leaving the race, challenging him to win over her moderate supporters. In his own statement posted to social media before Haley's speech, Trump said she had been “trounced.” More U.S. politics: - Trump’s crushing victories on Tuesday [masked quiet weaknesses](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRny90CP0T8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMy8wNi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9kb25hbGQtdHJ1bXAtcHJpbWFyeS13aW5zLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjQwMzA3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNjk1OSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjAwNzgmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmXiAljpZXrF4KRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~). - Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, a powerful figure in Republican politics who once denounced Trump, [endorsed the former president](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRny90CP0T7aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMy8wNi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9tY2Nvbm5lbGwtZW5kb3JzZXMtdHJ1bXAuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyNDAzMDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE2OTU5Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2MDA3OCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZeICWOllesXgpFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). - [Americans are coming to terms](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRny90CP4QEAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjQvMDMvMDYvdXMvcG9saXRpY3MvdHJ1bXAtYmlkZW4tcHJlc2lkZW50aWFsLWNhbXBhaWduLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjQwMzA3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExNjk1OSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjAwNzgmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmXiAljpZXrF4KRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) with the reality of a second Biden-Trump race. - Biden’s most significant Democratic challenger, Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota, [also dropped out of the race](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRny90CP0T6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMy8wNi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9kZWFuLXBoaWxsaXBzLWRyb3BzLW91dC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDI0MDMwNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTY5NTkmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTYwMDc4JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpl4gJY6WV6xeCkUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~).

Negotiators had been discussing an initial six-week cease-fire during which Hamas would release about 40 hostages for a substantial number of Palestinian prisoners. But in recent days, Hamas has backed away from the proposal and made demands that Israel refused to meet, according to officials briefed on the talks who declined to be identified because of the fragile nature of the negotiations. One official in the region said the main point of discord was that Hamas wants Israel to commit now to a permanent cease-fire during or after three phases of hostage releases. Israel wants to focus on an agreement for the terms of the first phase only, a position the U.S. supports.
