Former South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley will run for president in 2024 on February 15, competing with former President Donald Trump. This was reported by an informed source. According to local publication and Courier, which first reported on the planned announcement, Haley will announce his intention to run for president later Wednesday. Recall that Haley served as United States Ambassador to the UN from 2017 to 2018. If Haley receives the nomination, she will become the first female Republican presidential nominee in history, as well as the party’s first non-white nominee. Haley has repeatedly distanced herself from Trump, but also said he plays an important role in the Republican Party. She has occasionally made controversial remarks about racial issues in the past.
For example, in November, at a campaign rally, she said that Democratic Senator from Georgia Raphael Warnock, an African American born in Savannah, should be “expelled.” Polls show Haley, who served as governor of South Carolina from 2011 to 2017, is popular there.
