Nikki Haley announces run for president, challenging TrumpBy MEG KINNARDAssociated PressThe Associated PressCHARLESTON, S.C.
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.”

Kamalaladingdong is not president. She shouldn't be in the role of V.P., either, but she's not president.
“NBC” Knitting Circle springs into action!
(and No I do not want her as POTUS)
Guess she needs money.
Get contributions , keep them.
You’re not sufficiently knowledgeable of immigration law, or of the 14th Amendment.
And, so, if she’s caught not wearing heels...?
Challenging Mike Dense for bottom of the barrel
If Nikki Haley is the answer it must have been a stupid question!!
Nikki seeks a bigger venue for erasing non-Woke American history.
This announcement will mean about as much as my announcing I will run. Zero effect.
Sell books
Publicity

Most are gimmick campaigns
IF I MAY ADD. IF YOU ARE BORN AND CAN HAVE DUAL CITIZENSHIP OR CITIZENSHIP IN ANOTHER COUNTRY YOU ARE NOT NATURALLY BORN OF EITHER OR ANY COUNTRY, BECAUSE YOU HAVE OPTIONS. IN THE LETTER FROM JOHN JAY AND WASHINGTON IT IS CLEAR THEY DIDN’T WANT SPLIT ALLIEGENCES FOR THE COMMANDER OF THE ARMIES.
Vattel writing in the mid 18th century defined NBC as born in country to two citizen parents.
Historically, most countries required either the father or both parents to be citizens to be Natural Born. Obama, Cruz, Jindal, Haley among those not NBC.
It would be hard to imagine the founders wanted the son of a British citizen to be commander in chief after the revolutionary war.
Uh no.
