Haley's presidential announcement may open the flood gates in the 2024 GOP nomination race
Fox News ^ | February 12, 2023 | Paul Steinhauser

"See you on the 15th," Nikki Haley says in a tweet pinned to the top of her Twitter page.

That’s when the former South Carolina governor who served as ambassador to the United Nations during former President Donald Trump’s administration is expected to declare her candidacy for president, joining Trump as the only major Republicans to date to have launched White House campaigns.

Since Trump jumped into the presidential race in mid-November, it’s been a field of one in the hunt for the GOP nomination. But Haley’s entry — at an event in Charleston, South Carolina — could open the flood gates, with other likely Republican White House hopefuls launching their own campaigns in the weeks and months ahead.

DeSantis for over a year routinely dismissed talk of a 2024 White House race as he focused on his gubernatorial re-election. But he’s dropped plenty of hints of a possible presidential bid since his re-election victory speech in November. And as Fox News first reported, he’ll be publishing a memoir titled "The Courage to Be Free: Florida's Blueprint for America's Revival" later this month. Writing a book is a rite of passage for many potential and actual presidential candidates.

While sources in DeSantis’ wider orbit say any presidential campaign launch wouldn’t occur until late spring or early summer, after the end of Florida’s currently legislative session, Republican sources confirm to Fox News that the governor’s political team has already started reaching out and identifying operatives for a potential White House run.

February 15th. The day after Valentine Day.

The day the flowers start wilting, the good chocolate pieces are already eaten, and the water in the flower vase starts to get a little cloudy.

And you realize that there's still stuff in between the couch cushions left over from the Super Bowl party.

The other possible candidates should just leave Haley and Trump as the only declared ones, just to show they’re actually in cahoots and won’t actually criticize one another.

She has quite a high opinion of herself. In reality, she’s “not all that”.

Or maybe she just wants to rake in all that campaign money that she can keep when she loses. That’s quite the scam.

And some are speculating he is not running. So what. His team have said they are actively prepping for a run behind the scenes. Has he denied this? No. Whether he follows through on it is another matter. I think he should stand down. It’s Trump’s turn.

"VP candidate, nothing else."

She's not eligible for V.P.

She is NOT a natural born Citizen.

It’s DeSantis or Trump. Everyone else can sit down and watch.

She’s lining up to be Trump’s running mate. While he viciously attacks everyone else, he actually encouraged her to run.
