Nikki Haley Enters 2024 Presidential Race |
Wall Street Journal: Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador, said Tuesday she is entering the 2024 Republican presidential nomination race in a move that puts her in direct competition with her onetime boss, former President Donald Trump. “It’s time for a new generation of leadership to rediscover fiscal responsibility, secure our border, and strengthen our country, our pride and our purpose,” Ms. Haley said in an announcement video released a day before she is scheduled to give a formal campaign-launch speech in Charleston, SC. Ms. Haley’s remarks seemed to reference the age of some of the top candidates expected to be in the race. Mr. Trump is 76, while President Biden, who is expected to make a formal announcement in March or April about seeking the Democratic nomination, is 80. The 51-year-old is the first major Republican candidate to commit to taking on Mr. Trump, who launched his third consecutive White House bid in November and remains the party’s dominant figure even after disappointing GOP results in the past three national elections (Wall Street Journal). |
