AP News, I'm Ed Donahue. A day after Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley says her Republican race for president is over. Here's the AP's Julie Walker. It may not have been what Nikki Haley supporters were hoping to hear as she took the stage in her home state of North Carolina. "The time has now come to suspend my campaign." Haley losing big on Super Tuesday, only winning Vermont, telling supporters she wanted to give Americans a chance to have their voices heard, and she did that. "I have no regrets." One announcement that did not come an endorsement of Donald Trump. "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." Haley did congratulate Trump on becoming the presumptive Republican nominee, and said the country is too precious to let differences divide us. I'm Julie Walker. Haley didn't endorse Donald Trump, but Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is saying it should come as no surprise that as nominee, Donald Trump will have his support. After Trump's impeachment acquittal, McConnell said he was morally responsible for the Capitol riot. "There's no question, none." An explosion rocked the Ukrainian city of Odessa during a visit by President Volodymyr Zelensky and Greece's Prime Minister. On Capitol Hill, Fed Chair Jerome Powell says interest rate cuts are likely. "We believe that our policy rate is likely at its peak for this tightening cycle. If the economy evolves broadly as expected, it will likely be appropriate to begin dialing back policy restraint at some point this year." But Powell wants to see more evidence. Inflation is falling sustainably back to the Fed's 2 percent target. Authorities say a suspected attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels on a commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden caused fatalities and forced the crew to abandon the vessel. A passenger shot aboard a bus in Philadelphia has died. It's the third time in three days someone was killed while riding, entering, or leaving a septa bus in Philadelphia. This is AP News. Prosecutors in New York abruptly dropped the case of three men accused of obscuring the ownership of hit songs by the Eagles. The AP's Margie Zareleta has the story. Judge Curtis Farber dismissed the case against three collectibles experts, saying witnesses and their lawyers used attorney-client privilege to hide information that could be damaging. The communications emerged after Eagles singer Don Henley apparently decided last week to waive attorney-client privilege after he and other prosecution witnesses had testified. Prosecutors say the communications contained information that the defense should have been allowed to access before their cross-examinations. The collectibles experts were facing criminal charges for possessing and trying to sell handwritten lyrics that Henley said he led a biographer use for research. The biographer sold the lyrics to one of the experts but was not on trial. I'm Archie Zareleta. And I'm Ed Donohue, AP News. It's Buck Sexton along with Clay Travis talking about Dan capitalist law.
