South Carolina's Nikki Haley to launch 2024 presidential campaign, joining Trump in nomination hunt
Fox News
Nikki Haley of South Carolina, who served as United Nations ambassador during former President Donald Trump’s administration, will soon declare her candidacy for president.
Political pundits have long viewed Haley as a potential GOP presidential contender, as she crisscrossed the country the past two years through her political group Stand for America, helping fellow Republicans running in the 2022 elections. Haley’s travels brought her numerous times to Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, which hold the first, second and fourth contests in the Republican presidential nominating calendar. Haley’s home state of South Carolina votes third in the GOP primary schedule.
When speaking with reporters last year who questioned her about a White House run, Haley reiterated that "after November, we’ll figure it out. But you know what I’ve said — I’ve never lost a race. I’m not going to start now. If there’s place for me, we’ll put a 100% in, and we’ll finish it."
