Nikki Haley Says Won't Run For President In 2024 If Trump Does

Nikki Haley said the last time she spoke to Trump - with whom she said she had a "great working relationship" - was after the election but before the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor who served as ambassador to the United Nations under President Donald Trump, said she would support her former boss if he ran for the White House again in 2024 and would not run against him. Republicans have long eyed Haley, a woman of color, as a formidable candidate to lead the GOP ticket for president one day. She is expected to make a bid if the field is open, but a Trump candidacy would make it difficult for other Republicans to gain traction. "I would not run if President Trump ran," Haley told an Associated Press reporter. "And I would talk to him about it. That's something that we will have a conversation about, at some point, if that decision is something that has to be made." Haley said the last time she spoke to Trump - with whom she said she had a "great working relationship" - was after the election but before the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
