According to a new report, U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has offered her resignation to President Trump. Jonathan Swan of Axios reports, “President Trump has accepted Nikki Haley’s resignation as UN Ambassador, according to two sources briefed on their conversation. The timing of her departure is still unclear. … Haley discussed her resignation with Trump last week when she visited him at the White House, these sources said.”
Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, was confirmed as U.N. Ambassador almost immediately after Trump’s inauguration. Her hardline positions on everything from the U.S. withdrawal from the notorious Human Rights Council to support for Israel to Russia had won her great admiration, to the point where polls said she was the most popular politician in America. An April 2018 Quinnipiac poll found Haley garnering a whopping 63% approval rate from Americans, with 75% of Republicans, 63% of independents and 55% of Democrats approving of her job performance. That last figure was, astonishingly, equal among democrats to the approval rates of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (56%) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (55%).
