Allegations that former Gov. Nikki Haley engaged in extramarital affairs resurfaced this week as the Republican primary dwindled to two candidates. Haley and former President Donald Trump are the last two Republicans standing, with Trump holding a commanding lead the rest of the way. At this point, it seems unlikely that Haley’s reported trysts will have any meaningful impact on her campaign’s success since it appears almost guaranteed that she will lose to Trump either way.

Flash back to just a couple of months ago, and Haley had replaced Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as the anointed one after a couple of debate performances. Haley was now the preferred candidate for such people as the Koch brothers and the donor class of the GOP. Haley’s shine started to dim after a startling inability to answer a simple question about the origins of the Civil War. Other odd answers and behavior showed she was not ready for prime time. And then came the resurfaced allegations of her infidelity.
