WASHINGTON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Former American ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley on Tuesday kicked off her campaign for the 2024 Republican U.S. presidential nomination, a tough challenge in a race in which a new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows her former boss Donald Trump holding a strong lead.
"I'm Nikki Haley and I'm running for president," Haley said in a video that her team sent out by email as she joined Trump as the only announced 2024 candidates.
Haley, a former South Carolina governor who served as the U.N. ambassador under Trump from 2017 to 2018, is set to lay out her campaign plans in a speech on Wednesday in Charleston, South Carolina.

Nikki McRomBush
Per previous threads on this subject, she does not have a heck of a lot of support.
Maybe she’s really hoping to be in the mix to be chosen as a vice presidential candidate.
A female Romney, for sure.
Left to her own devices, she sticks her finger in the wind to see which way the lib winds are blowing.
She endorsed Pierre Delecto for Prez, if I remember correctly. She is approved by the "Club for Growth" - that is "take American jobs away" club - or is it the Chamber of Cronies. I mix up the two. Lindsey Grahamnesty loves her.
She will make a good establishment puppet.
RINOtastic! Meh.
Is this the Bee?
Yeeeeeeep!
She should wear an eye patch.
As I have previously stated, “Nikki Haley is not an Art. II, §1, cl. 5 natural-born citizen.”
All too often, many U.S. citizens and courts believe if your U.S. citizenship was acquired at birth without the need to go through the naturalization process, you are a natural-born U.S. Citizen. Here’s the problem, that opinion allows for dual allegiances, precisely what the founders and framers of the U.S. Constitution were trying to avoid in 1776, namely, British allegiance to England at birth in the American colonies.
In eighteenth-century legal parlance, ‘natural’ meant the opposite of ‘provided by statute’ (hence ‘natural law,’ ‘natural rights,’ ‘natural-born’). There is nothing natural about statutorily created citizenship at birth or by an oath after birth; the state bestows both.
By the rule of statutory construction: “Citizens of the United States from birth” is not synonymous with Art. II, §I, Cl. 5 natural born citizens. In general, a general clause (i.e., Citizens of the United States at birth — 14th Amendment) can not govern a specific clause (i.e., No Person except a natural born Citizen — Art. II, §I, Cl. 5). Unless Congress has specifically stated via its constitutional authority that “All citizens at birth are natural born citizens,” the court MUST give each clause a separate legal effect.
Back in 1788 when the U.S. Constitution was ratified, under the exclusive-citizenship theory, ‘consent to be governed’ at birth was accomplished by the transfer of allegiance of the child’s citizen-father. After the 19th Amendment was adopted, again, to avoid dual allegiances at birth, both parents were required to be U.S. citizens before their offspring could be considered natural U.S. citizens at birth. This is precisely what one would expect if the founders and framers of the U.S. Constitution intended to combine the presidency (an elected position) with the Commander in chief of the nation’s armed forces (an appointed position).
I despise that in anyone, but particularly in politicians.
If there ever existed a signal cleavage point between Leftists and real Conservatives, it is that we reject this behavior, but Leftists glorify it in the form of "Clintonian Triangulation".
I think I can beat Mike Tyson
I will not vote for her. Nor sununu. Nor hogan. Nor pence. Nor any other RINO wondercund. I don’t expect any of them to break out of 2% in the primaries anyway.
Well he sure could slap Chris Rock.
Oh jeez. Its the natural born cult again. Pi$$ing in the wind time.
Ho hum
Nikki Haley is Yeb Bush sans penis.
Looks like the clown car is starting to fill up.
Gonna be fuuuun watching PDJT pick off all his challengers one by one as he did in 2016. Plastic ducks in a carnival game.
Sorry bro. Nobody's buying it.
