Nikki Haley Announces White House Bid for 2024, Joining Former President Trump in the Race for the GOP Nomination

On Tuesday, former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley announced her bid for the White House in 2024. In a slickly produced video posted on Twitter, Haley said that it is “time for a new generation” of leadership. Haley is the first Republican to declare a challenge against former President Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination.

Haley is set to deliver a speech announcing her run during an event in Charleston, South Carolina, on Wednesday. In the video, Haley said that Republicans have lost the popular vote in seven of the last eight presidential elections, and that “that has to change.”

Haley is the second Republican to jump into the race for her party’s presidential nomination, joining former President Donald Trump. Haley served as U.S. ambassador to the U.N. during Trump’s administration, and has been an outspoken advocate for conservative values.

The potential GOP presidential field is beginning to take shape, with Haley and Trump both declaring their candidacy. It is unclear who else may join the race, but it is sure to be a competitive one. The Republican Party is looking to regain the White House in 2024, and Haley and Trump will be at the forefront of the battle.
