CHARLESTON, SC (AP) — Former South Carolina Governor and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley announced her presidential campaign on Tuesday, the first to face former President Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination.
The video announcement marks a turning point for the former Trump administration official, who said two years ago that she would not challenge her former boss for the White House. But he has changed his mind in recent months, citing, among other factors, the country’s economic problems and the need for “generational change”, alluding to Trump’s 76-year-old age.
