it doesn't heel the rifts inside gop. haley with no plans to endorse her former boss, who can now turn his attention to the general election rematch with president biden. this morning, nikki haley is ♪♪ this is an nbc news special report. here's savannah guthrie. hi, everybody. good morning, we come on the air with breaking news, a historic moment in the 2024 presidential race. nikki haley addressing supporters in south carolina. -- for president. when i began i said the campaign was grounded in the love for my country. just last week, my mother, a first generation immigrant got to vote for her daughter for president. only in america. i'm filled with the gratitude of outpouring the support we 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 america's retreat. standing by our allies in ukraine, israel and taiwan is a moral imperative. but it's also more than that. if we retreat further, there

will be more war, not less. as 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 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 that's 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 america's 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, quote, 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 with, 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've seen our country's greatness. from the bottom of my heart, thank you, america. god bless you. >> nikki haley in south carolina after a brutal super tuesday, deciding to bow out of the presidential race suspendle her campaign. but for all intents and purposes it is over. we'll turn to our senior correspondent hallie jackson, and kristen welker, moderate of "meet the press." she says she's watching if he reaches out with an olive branch for so many in the republican party who have supported her in the primary season. >> that's right, savannah. she's effectively saying i'm not going to endorse you yet,

quoting margaret thatcher to say, don't follow the crowd, make up your own mind. really powerful words there, to your point, 30% of voters in these primary races have decided to vote for nikki haley. some of those of independents, some of them democrats, people who are never going to vote for donald trump. but some of them are gettable voters. i've spoken to some of them who said they will probably back the republican nominee, but can he win them over. i spoke to someone close to nikki haley this morning about the endorsement, they said, look, the door's open but her message stands, he's got to win their votes. >> with former president trump and president biden. she chose her words she said it's donald trump's time for choosing. if you're not with me, we're against you. we don't want the nikki haley

republican, the rino, it's still an olive branch. >> that's not donald trump's style. and nikki haley made it clear, it's up to you, donald trump, she put that clearly to go out and win over the people who backed me. we're not talking about a huge violation of the electorate. it's a small percentage. 20% in that range. that's going to matter in the general election for donald trump or for joe biden. you heard haley say something else that is interesting there, i'm going to continue to use my voice to talk about what i believe in. the voice she's using, what she's representing in the gop is not the mainstream of where the party is. and when she talked about, for example, ukraine. she's out of step in some ways with her own party but can she carry on that mantel for that portion of the party. >> she talked about guidance certainly to the end sand also

talked about being a private citizen but for the moment, she's not speaking about some future. we shall see. nbc's ali vitali was in the room. take us behind that, ali, you covered the campaign. what was the thinking going into super tuesday. it was so notable, you did not see the candidate last night, they knew they could lead the masses as well as anybody else, but the day was coming. >> savannah, they also said, they knew the odds and the stakes. that's why they continued to fight on through super tuesday, despite the fact that the polls showed it would be a slog to the ballot box. that's what you saw, the candidate got, quite frankly, right to the point, saying she was suspending her race for president because she wasn't going to stop using her voice as a private citizen. she said i have always supported my party's nominee.

she calls herself a conservative republican. the fact that someone like that with conservative credentials is not coming out and endorsing donald trump as the nominee underscores what i've been hearing from my sources on the haley sources and allies. saying trump can say the party is unified behind him but that is not in fact true when you have his lone rival yet endorsing him. and a challenge to her former boss, saying you have to win those voters back. and the unspoken part of that, savannah, is or else. you look at states like georgia or wisconsin, these are states that turn on a very slim margin of voters. even a portion of them staying home and not voting for the republican nominee could be substantial. that's a warning that we're going to look back on depending on how 2024 turns. was nikki haley right. >> that independent suburban mom string of the electorate often turns it. we'll see. ali thank you, we want to go to

garrett haake who covers the trump campaign. garrett, we're hearing from president trump who is now officially the presumptive republican nominee. >> reporter: that's right, we see the olive branch from trump to nikki haley supporters in the form of a social media post in which he mocks nikki haley for being trounced, he says, on super tuesday. and then invites all of her supporters to join what he calls the greatest movement in the history of our nation. he goes on to say president biden is the enemy, as he concludes this post. that's in line with what i've heard from so many of his advisers. that they're not going to make the kind of appeal that nikki haley suggested might be necessary to win these folks over. rather, they're going to try to make the argument that joe biden and his policies could push voters back in the trump camp where they'll be waiting for them.

it's a strategy clearly untested from trump but that's what you'll get to change his strategy to appeal to a bigger slice of the electorate. one of the advisers told me yesterday, why would they change, when they believe what they did worked perfectly in a primary. they don't intend a strategy shift like nikki haley has suggested here. and they're going to hope that joe biden simply pushes those voters back into the maga fold, savannah. >> we shall see if the winning primary strategy translates to the general election. the general election is on. that concludes this nbc news special report. we'll have much more streaming on nbc news now. nbcnews.co tonight on "nightly news." most of you will turn to "today." i am savannah guthrie. thank you for watching that sam considered an employee of his or her university, the university

can't get around negotiating a salary nil, but if that same athlete is considered an employee of his or her university, the university can't get wrong negotiating a salary for that athlete. >> reporter: in 2015, northwestern university football players also voted to unionize, only for that status to be overturned on appeal and dartmouth college is appealing, saying the school works productively with five unions, but athletic pursuit is part of the educational experience, classifying students as employees simply because they play basketball is as unprecedented as it is inaccuratee table. still the legal process could take months or years to complete. it d the aflcio celebrating on x saying ncaa athletes make billions in profits for the universities they deserve a seat at the table. this is the start of a new chapter in athletics the process could take years to complete it does make sense many people ask what is the difference between this and what northwestern university did. they're both private institutions however, northwestern is in the big 10 filled with public

institutions beholden to state labor laws dartmouth, however, is in the ivy league it is all private institutions falling under federal law. sports and legal experts say that makes unionization much cleaner in this case. >> an important distinction there. sam brock for us there in miami. here is the reality. between the name and likeness issue and now unionization, college athletics, as we know it, is changes before our eyes. >> i know. you think a lot of those big programs are funding the smaller college sports that are there. they're making money, but where is the money going and it is probably going to fund these other things. it will be interesting to see what happens >> it is a complicated issue. >> we'll watch that. we will watch the weather. tens of millions on alert for severe storms. dylan is in for alabama this morning. let's get a check of the forecast >> severe storms and rain. we do have flood alerts in effect flood watches from new jersey across long island into southern new england, too 30 million people under those watches. the next storm system is already producing some heavier rain down through the southeast into georgia, just exiting atlanta but into the carolinas up

through virginia we will see this heavy rain through new jersey and in the new york city area we have a flash flood risk because, remember, the last few days we have had a lot of rain around here going back to last weekend. we could see urban street flooding, minor river flooding, also just the flooding you get on the highway keep that in mind on this evening's commute. a couple inches of rain fall through this one but also through mississippi, alabama we could end up with one to three inches of rain between this storm and the other one go into england up around 3, maybe 4 inches. that's a look at the weather across the the weekend. we could see rainfall rates one to two inches per hour that's a lot of rain at a short period of time with rainfall totals up to three, maybe even four inches. that's the weather across the country. we'll get to your next forecast in the next 30 seconds 's intere. oh. oh yeah, we gotta pick up some milk.

great seeing you. you could get an interest free refund advance loan up to $3,500 the day you file. good wednesday morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. we're seeing another wave of rain from marin county, extending down the peninsula and into the south bay, and pockets of heavy rain will continue. keep the umbrella handy. we'll have a chance of showers into the afternoon, and possibly a few isolated thunderstorms. later this evening, the activity winds down and we'll have a couple of dry days in the forecast. thursday and friday are looking and that's your latest forecast. >> thank you. still ahead, a story anyone who flies needs to see the tsa is testing out what could be the check point of the future tom costello, who else, got a

good morning. nikki haley's decision will effectively end the republican primary, but it doesn't fill the rifts within the gop with haley having no plans to endorse her former boss donald trump as he tries to turn his head to the general election. >> 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. although i will no longer be a candidate, i will not stop using my voice for the things i believe in. >> what you did not hear from nikki haley in her remarks today was an endorsement of donald trump, and she said it would be up to trump to make the appeal to her voters himself. donald trump attempted to do so

in what amounted to an olive branch post on social media in which he made fun of haley, and he said the joe biden policies should push the supporters back into the maga camp. >> thank you very much. yesterday, a state workplace enough time to perform her

duties, and she said the policy was -- it is not uncommon to put on a little makeup before going to the gym to exercise, but a new study suggests that could actually be a bad idea. let's dive into this. dr. henry, good morning. >> good morning. >> speaking to the people who work here in professionals where you have makeup on, sometimes you just go to the gym and you don't want to take it off because of laziness. i didn't think there was a problem. i figured eventually you would sweat it off and it would be fine. what is the issue with exercising with makeup on? >> a lot of women just like you are rushing to the gym. what it does is it clogs the pores. this study shows that -- we instinctually know that. the study shows before makeup and after makeup, your pores are actually smaller. we're seeing a higher index. what's interesting is we're actually seeing less oil on the skin.

the skin is drier, and the makeup impedes the ability for the makeup to stay. you are getting more acne, drier skin, inflamed skin. so it is not good. >> so what do you do about it? you don't have to work on tv. let's say you go to work and you say, i'm going to workout after work and i have a little makeup on. do you have to scrub your face first? >> i like wipes. wipe off your makeup, splash afterwards. it is really clogging your pores. sebum. what is that? >> sebum is created by your sebaceous glands. it is oil and cholesterol. it protects our skin to our skin can function well. >> some people do feel more comfortable with something on

their face before they work out. is there anything that you think works okay? >> if you must, it must be the barely makeup no makeup. waterproof mascara, maybe a little concealer. little concealer if you need coverage, powder powder is much better than cream. the fact that it is a cream causes a lot of problems. >> what if you are going to the gym to meet someone? >> yeah! >> what do i know about it the gym or any of it okay thank you, doctor. guys, france is cutting back on the number of people who will be able to line the riverbanks of paris to watch the olympics opening ceremony originally they planned to allow 600,000 spectators but yesterday citing security concerns, the french government confirmed the number will be cut in half. in addition, the free tickets will not be available to tourists and the general public. those will be invitation only. >> 300,000 still sounds like a lot of people. >> invite only, okay.

body positive influencers now being paid to promote them we will hear from both sides on this one but, first, these messages i needed more from my antidepressant. vraylar helped give it a lift. adding vraylar to an antidepressant is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms better than an antidepressant alone. and in vraylar clinical studies, most saw no substantial impact on weight. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, as these may be life-threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. high blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, weight gain, and high cholesterol may occur. movement dysfunction and restlessness are common side effects. stomach and sleep issues, dizziness, increased appetite, and fatigue are also common. side effects may not appear for several weeks. i didn't have to change my treatment. i just gave it a lift. ask about vraylar

the country has gotten recently. before we got that last big storm, the one that brought about 10 feet of snow to some areas, we were below average as far as snowfall totals are concerned. but since that storm, 112% above average snow packs so we certainly are getting good skiing conditions out that way on the east coast, the rain is falling to the southeast we have a flooding risk because of all the rain. it is mild through the middle of the country. watch out for strong storms s dn good wednesday morning. i'm kari hall. grab the umbrella. we are going to see waves of rain coming through. temperatures in the low 60s, there will be a break in the activity tomorrow and friday but then watching out for some rain on saturday we'll likely see in san francisco and part of the north bay. on sunday morning, we spring forward, setting our clock forward one hour. we'll be also tracking another chance of rain next tuesday.

and that's your latest forecast >> hello. >> can you please come over here for one quick second come here. stephanie has been on the plaza every single day this week she brought you guys cookies where are you from, stephanie? >> from illinois. >> she brought cookies are you going to be here tomorrow >> no. >> well, three days is on a roll thank you, stef. we appreciate it coming up next, a new way to save coming to a target near you. but is it worth the membership fee you will pay brian cheung has a closer look but, first, this is "today" on

this morning on "today's consumer," retail rewards and loyalty programs target just announced it is

launching a new paid membership program next month to compete with giants like amazon and walmart. what are the costs? what do you get? and how does it compare with its rivals brian cheung has been looking into this. we heard about other big retailers doing this we will compare in a moment. but tell us what the new paid program at target is all about. >> seems like every retailer has a subscription now let's break it down. target saying yesterday they will have a circle 360 it launches on april 7th, so it is not yet active today. and the intro offer is $49 a year pricing is very important for all the subscriptions we will talk about today after may 18th, that price goes up to $99 a year what comes with this service >> yeah. >> it comes with, for example, free same day delivery over $35, free two-day shipping and free circle membership because some people might be subscribed to their e-mail sign-up that gives you exclusive access

to things and deals as well. that is also still available for people that weren't paying for this the big deal here is that free shipping. >> okay. they might roll out other perks as they go along. >> and delivery. i mean, same-day delivery, that's a big deal. >> it could be $10 in some cases for that same-day delivery at the moment >> okay. let's start with amazon. it obviously has a subscription service. let's compare. >> yeah. this is the more expensive one, but that's because amazon is huge $15 a month. it also includes free two-day shipping shipping is the big threat for all these prescription services. but because of amazon prime's video and music offerings, that is also part of the prime package as well. but they also have whole foods and groceries. there are a number of attachments to this packaging. then whole foods, you have a grubhub plus subscription for ordering at home it is also try before you pay. this is a big priority for amazon you can try something on and then you are not billed for seven days afterwards just so you can make sure it fits. >> you have walmart. they have a paid membership, too.

>> $12.95 a month. free shipping. in some cases you will also get free same day shipping as well it depends on what you are buying grocery delivery over $35 as well but walmart has a few bells and whistles in addition to the shopping as well you have the paramount plus subscription and a discount on gas. there are no gas stations at amazon and target. that's notable for those that subscribe to walmart plus as well. >> it would make sense to join all three. >> it would add up okay >> it would add up but what are other ways besides joining these programs >> yeah. in some of these programs you have a free trial. walmart, for example, you can do a 30-day free trial by signing up you want to remember what that 30-day date is so you can cancel beforehand

but there are also discounts available. you can get a pretty steep discount for that subscription i want to note here, it is not written down, but if you are on snap or wic, you can get a discounted walmart subscription as well. make sure you look before you actually sign up lastly, consider credit card perks. some people might be thinking about that credit card news and say, what about the red card you get 5% off using that credit card maybe that's a better option than signing up for the subscription just look at all the offerings out there before you ultimately sign up. >> brian, thank you. a lot of good information. a lot of good information. hoda, ov
