Nikki Haley Is Running For President. Here’s What You Need To Know.

Nikki Haley, a former ambassador to the United Nations, jumped into the 2024 presidential race on Tuesday, becoming the first Republican to officially challenge former President Donald Trump for the GOP nomination.

Haley, 51, has been out of public office and, for the most part, out of the public eye for several years. She last served in office as Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations before leaving the administration at the end of 2018. She leaned on that experience in a video announcing her candidacy released on Tuesday.
