CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador, announced her candidacy for president on Tuesday, becoming the first major challenger to former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination.
The announcement, delivered in a tweeted video, marks an about-face for the ex-Trump Cabinet official, who said two years ago that she wouldn’t challenge her former boss for the White House in 2024. But she changed her mind in recent months, citing, among other things, the country’s economic troubles and the need for “generational change,” a nod to the 76-year-old Trump’s age.
“You should know this about me. I don’t put up with bullies. And when you kick back, it hurts them more if you’re wearing heels,” Haley said. “I’m Nikki Haley, and I’m running for president.”
Haley, 51, is the first in a long line of Republicans who are expected to launch 2024 campaigns in the coming months. Among them are Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina.
President Joe Biden has said he intends to seek reelection in 2024, stalling any jostling for the Democratic nomination.
Haley has regularly boasted about her track record of defying political expectations, saying, “I’ve never lost an election, and I’m not going to start now.”
If elected, Haley would be the nation’s first female president and the first U.S. president of Indian descent.
The daughter of Indian immigrants, Haley grew up enduring racist taunts in a small South Carolina town and has long referenced that impact on

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley will be officially launching her 2024 run for the U.S. presidential race on Wednesday February 15th.
This has been a long-planned objective by Mrs. Haley in her quest to retain political relevance and influence. Running for office in ’24 was the background for her exit from the Trump administration all the way back in 2019 after two years as U.N. ambassador.
Mrs. Haley will be financed by coastal Republican and Wall Street donors who are ultimately attempting to avoid another America First term of economic nationalism – the policy of President Donald Trump.
Following the arc of the Wall Street campaign design, at a particular point later in ’23 or early ’24, Mrs. Haley will drop out and endorse Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Haley is betting her political capital on this plan.
Following the announcement next week, Mrs. Haley will travel to New Hampshire and Iowa for campaign efforts coordinating with the “Stand for America” political action committee and political consultants that are designing and steering the larger objectives.
WASHINGTON DC – […] “Following her special announcement in South Carolina and campaign stops in New Hampshire, Nikki Haley will visit the Hawkeye State,” her Stand for America political action committee announced, in another tease that she will launch a 2024 campaign.
Haley’s stops in New Hampshire will include an appearance at Exeter Town Hall on Feb. 16 at 6 p.m., then an event at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics’s Saint Anselm College on Feb. 17 at 6 p.m. [Iowa] stops will include a town hall event at Royal Flooring on Feb. 20 at 6 p.m., followed by another town hall at Legacy Manufacturing on Feb. 21 at 5:30 p.m. (more)
Approximately a week after Mrs. Haley begins her campaign travels, Ron DeSantis will release his book “The Courage to be Free”, and while Haley travels the key primary states, DeSantis will be traveling to Texas, California and Alabama campaigning under the cover of a national book tour. [LINK] This is all by design.
The currently visible outlook reflects the purpose of Mrs. Haley to be the managed lead attack against President Donald Trump, while the DeSantis managers extend the plausible deniability for his entry into the contest as long as possible.
Once you see the strings on the marionettes, you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not notice them.

I don’t think Trump or Haley will be the most conservative in the race.
