Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley Confirms 2024 GOP Bid

US

The former governor of South Carolina and US permanent representative to the United Nations Nikki Haley has confirmed her (widely anticipated) bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Haley is set to officially launch her campaign with a speech tomorrow on 15 Feb, but Axios has published her campaign launch video a day ahead of schedule.

  • Axios: "Haley's campaign message feels like a throwback to the pre-Trump era, but there's room for a candidate preaching optimism and American exceptionalism in a GOP race dominated by two populists in Trump and (potentially) Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis."
  • Political betting markets make Haley a distant third in the race for the nomination with an implied probability of 7.7%, behind former President Donald Trump on 42.0% and DeSantis on 33.8%.
