The Republican officially announced her candidacy for the presidency in a video on Tuesday.
Washington Former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has announced her candidacy for the 2024 presidential election. It’s time for a new generation of leaders, the 51-year-old Republican said in a video on Tuesday morning (local time).
Haley is the first candidate to run against former US President Donald Trump. Her announcement was actually expected in a speech on Wednesday.
The 51-year-old has to prevail against Trump, who has already announced his candidacy, in party primaries. The Republican served as Ambassador to the United Nations from January 2017 to late 2018 during Trump’s tenure — and from 2011 to 2017 as South Carolina’s first woman governor.
“Some people look to America and see the vulnerability, the socialist left sees an opportunity to rewrite history,” Haley said in the video. China and Russia are on the rise and believe the US can be bullied and pushed around.
Haley made it clear that she didn’t want to put up with anything. “And when you step back, it hurts them more if you wear heels.”
