Nikki Haley has kept busy since leaving her post in the Trump administration as United States ambassador to the United Nations.
A former governor of South Carolina, Haley is often mentioned as a potential Republican presidential candidate for either 2024 or 2028 – depending on whether Donald Trump wins re-election in November.
There has even been speculation that Trump might switch out Vice-President Mike Pence for Haley as his running mate in the hopes of boosting his lagging approval numbers among the broader electorate, though there has been no strong evidence that that will happen.
Either way she has positioned herself as a national leader within the Republican party.
A rare woman of color in the party’s senior ranks, she has been fundraising for Republican congressional candidates as well as in the Senate and gubernatorial arena. She has set up a non-profit organization to boost her policy priorities. She has continued to pen editorials on foreign policy. And she has retained a small, tightly knit orbit of advisers.
Haley is one of the few high-ranking Republicans to leave the Trump administration on good terms. She has pledged to campaign aggressively for the president and has echoed some of the same arguments Trump has made on national topics such as cancel culture, defunding police forces and statue removal, although the tone and frequency between Trump and Haley vary dramatically. At other times she has kept her distance.

NBC?
Bad move if he does this. Nikki Haley is not a good person
Haley is not someone that you should vote for. She is weak in many ways...and duplicitous.
There will be no GOP post Trump. Heck, I’m not even sure there is one now.
Thank you Nikki for kicking off the statue destruction thing.
No thanks.
Pass
Pence gets a shot, then it’s Eric and Donald Jr.’s turns.
A leader has to have people willing to follow. Does she?

Oh please. There operative word is “speculation”. Speculation is right up there with anonymous sources as being a red flag on total B.S.. That, and it’s the Guardian.
Fine with me as I think Trump supporters are going to have our own party by then.
Tucker Carlson has a better chance than Nikki.
Who does the GOP represent? A small constituency of globalists, Wall Streeters, users of cheap labor, off shoring corporations and farmers. Who else do they represent now?
If Trump can lay the foundations for a desperately needed new conservative party (that actually stands for something and truly represents its voters) it won’t matter who leads an irrelevant post-Trump Republican Party.
She’ll have to make it through the Republican Primary with a win.
Lot of “It’s my turn” Republicans - like Mittens - will be giving it a go.
Please see my #15.
I dont really like Haley that much. I feel she’s weak on social issues. Weakness on social issues is what has gotten us into this mess with the rioting and hatred of all things white or Western.
Bingo, you nailed it.
I keep telling my NeverTrumper family members that there simply aren’t enough of you guys around to win elections
anymore.
The Democrats have a similar problem, as the old school statist moderates are going to have a hard time hanging with the radicals who have taken over.
No and no to Romney with lipstick.
