WASHINGTON - Former UN ambassador Nikki Haley said on Tuesday that she will seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, putting her at odds with one-time boss Donald Trump, the ex-president also seeking to win back the White House.
She became Mr Trump’s first direct challenger in a Republican field expected to grow in coming weeks and months. Other high-profile Republicans looking at a 2024 run include former Vice-President Mike Pence, US Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, among others.
A day after Ms Haley’s event, Mr Scott will kick off a“listening tour focused on Faith in America” in Charleston, according to a campaign advisory.The daughter of two Indian immigrants who ran a successful clothing store in a rural part of the state, Ms Haley has gained a reputation in the Republican Party as a solid conservative who has the ability to address issues of gender and race in a more credible fashion than many of her peers.
Many key Republican donors and elected officials in South Carolina have been looking for alternatives to Mr Trump amid concerns about his electability, according to conversations in recent weeks with more than a dozen party officials and strategists.
