Nikki Haley, the former US ambassador to the United Nations and two-term governor of South Carolina, is reportedly poised to announce she is seeking the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

With a campaign kick-off planned for 15 February in Charleston, South Carolina, the 51-year-old would become the second major Republican candidate for the presidency, after her former boss Donald Trump launched his bid in November.

Ms Haley would be the third Indian-American to seek a presidential nomination. She follows Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, whose bid in 2015 never gained significant traction, and current Vice-President Kamala Harris, who sought the 2020 nomination.

During her time as South Carolina governor, Ms Haley developed a reputation as a business-friendly leader who focused on attracting major companies to the state. She gained national prominence for her response to the racially motivated mass shooting at Charleston's Emanuel AME Church in 2015, which included a successful push to remove the Confederate flag from the grounds of the state capitol in Columbia.

Although she endorsed Florida Senator Marco Rubio in the 2016 Republican presidential contest, Mr Trump offered her a position in his cabinet as UN ambassador after he won the White House. She served there for two years and, unlike many of Mr Trump's early appointees, never had a public falling out with the president.

Ms Haley did, however, criticise Mr Trump's behaviour up to and during the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol by his supporters. The day after the riot, she said in a speech that "his actions since election day will be judged harshly by history".
 
She will be one of the many that bow out in the first round.

Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador, has announced she is a candidate to become US president in 2024.

"Now is not the time to hold back. Now is the time for a strong and proud America," she tweeted, linking to a campaign video.

She is the second major Republican candidate to run, after ex-boss Donald Trump launched his bid in November.

Ms Haley is the third Indian American to seek a presidential nomination.

She said in 2021 she wouldn't challenge him for the White House, but changed her mind in recent months, citing the need for "generational change".

Other Republicans expected to launch campaign to be selected for their party include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Vice President Mike Pence.

She has previously criticised Mr Trump's behaviour up to and during the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol by his supporters.

The day after the riot, she said in a speech that "his actions since election day will be judged harshly by history".

Lol she listed herself as “white” in her voter id registration during 2000s
Both are Punjabi wolves (former Sikh and Hindu).

Punjabis will always be the loudest and obnoxious diaspora from India and and I’m Punjabi myself so i see it.

Sunak alone is a bit different but have to remember he is more of a Hindu than Indian but also married a strong Indian woman so doesn’t have to pretend I guess.
 
She is using this as a stepping stone to something bigger. Best case scenario VP or a cabinet position. Worst case scenario her own show on Fox and a book deal will make millions and live happily ever after. I myself don’t like her much.
 
"Will Cut Every Cent Sent To Enemies": Nikki Haley Vows To End Aid To Pak, China
"A strong America doesn't pay off the bad guys. A proud America doesn't waste our people's hard-earned money," Nikki Haley wrote in an op-ed.

US Republican Party, Grand Old Party (GOP) Presidential candidate Nikki Haley has said that if voted to power, she will cut every cent in foreign aid for countries that hate the US. This includes China, Pakistan and other adversaries as "a strong America doesn't pay off the bad guys".
"I will cut every cent in foreign aid for countries that hate us. A strong America doesn't pay off the bad guys. A proud America doesn't waste our people's hard-earned money. And the only leaders who deserve our trust are those who stand up to our enemies and stand beside our friends," Ms Haley, the Former Governor of South Carolina and former US ambassador to the UN, wrote in an op-ed for New York Post.

'Will Cut Every Cent Sent To Enemies': Nikki Haley Vows To End Aid To Pak, China

Washington: US Republican Party, Grand Old Party (GOP) Presidential candidate Nikki Haley has said that if voted to power, she will cut every cent in foreign aid for countries that hate the US. This includes China, Pakistan and other adversaries as "a strong America doesn't pay off the bad guys".
"I will cut every cent in foreign aid for countries that hate us. A strong America doesn't pay off the bad guys. A proud America doesn't waste our people's hard-earned money. And the only leaders who deserve our trust are those who stand up to our enemies and stand beside our friends," Ms Haley, the Former Governor of South Carolina and former US ambassador to the UN, wrote in an op-ed for New York Post.

According to Ms Haley, America spent $46 billion on foreign aid last year. That's more than any other country by far. Taxpayers deserve to know where that money is going and what it's doing. They will be shocked to find that much of it goes to fund anti-American countries and causes.

Nikki Haley formally launched her 2024 campaign for the White House on February 15 (local time), pitching herself to voters as part of a "new generation" of Republican leaders who can win at the ballot box.

Ms Haley is now the first Indian American woman from the Republican Party to run for the presidential bid. As the former governor of South Carolina and US ambassador to the United Nations, took the stage, Haley introduced herself as the proud daughter of Indian immigrants pitching a new future for the Republican party.

Ms Haley in the Op-ed, while citing examples said that the US has given Iran more than USD 2 billion over the last few years, even though its government is getting closer to the murderous thugs in Iran who shout "Death to America!" and launch attacks on our troops.

"The Biden administration resumed military aid to Pakistan, though it's home to at least a dozen terrorist organizations and its government is deeply in hock to China. Team Biden restored half a billion dollars to a corrupt United Nations agency that's supposed to help the Palestinian people but in fact covers for deeply anti-Semitic propaganda against our ally Israel," she said.

CNN anchor Don Lemon has hit out at the network after his firing, which came after accusations of misogyny and misbehaviour.

"I am stunned," Lemon wrote on Twitter, saying he was told by his agent he had been let go.

CNN said it "parted ways" with Lemon, who co-hosted its morning show, saying "we wish him well".

It follows on-air remarks by Lemon in which he said Republican Nikki Haley, 51, was not "in her prime".

The dismissal also comes on the heels of another major US media departure. Just moments before Lemon's announcement, Fox News announced it was parting ways with primetime host Tucker Carlson.

A long-time fixture of the network, Lemon was most recently a co-host of CNN's This Morning programme.

But he landed in hot water earlier this year after comments he made about Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley, a former UN ambassador and governor of South Carolina.

Ms Haley was not "in her prime", Lemon said in February, a remark widely decried as sexist.

"When a woman is considered to be in her prime - in her 20s, 30s and maybe her 40s," he said.

She's professed her support for Zionism and has closed the gap on Trump.

They will overrun it again if they're allowed to
 
All Republicans openly support Israel. Nikki is no exception.

Democrats and liberals are the ones that support Palestine and their rights. All of the rallies you see in US are done by leftwing youngsters. BLM also openly supports Palestinians and opposes Israel. Even LGBT groups also support Palestine.

Then what about LGBT supporting Palestine?

Trump, Haley Duke It Out in New Hampshire Ahead of Critical Primary Vote

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and former President Donald Trump will make their closing arguments in New Hampshire on Sunday in a final stretch of campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination before voters go to the polls on Tuesday.

Time is running short for Haley, who served as Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, to topple the Republican presidential frontrunner after his victory in the Iowa caucuses underscored his dominance in the primary race.

If she cannot score an upset win in New Hampshire on Tuesday, her already-narrow path to the nomination could close altogether.

Trump, who is leading Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis here, addressed a stadium full of cheering supporters in Manchester on Saturday night, encouraging them to go the polls on Tuesday, when the primary will take place.

But he also appeared to shift some of his focus to the next major nominating contest, in South Carolina in late February.

At the rally, several high-ranking state and federal officials from that state spoke on Trump's behalf, including South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster.

"They understand that I am the only candidate in this race who is going to save America and we're gonna get rid of this Biden disaster right away," Trump said.

"So you know what I'm doing? I'm kissing ass."

Haley has stepped up her attacks on Trump in recent days with a late-in-the-game move to draw contrasts with a businessman and politician whose time in the White House was characterized by chaos and who faces four criminal cases, including for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election that he lost to now President Joe Biden.

Despite her shift, some Republican and independent voters say Haley should go further with her criticisms and that she has not hit her main rival hard enough throughout her campaign.

"I think Trump needs to be put in his place," said Chris Jay, 57, a Republican who said he was leaning toward Haley but wanted her to lob more head-on attacks at the former president.

Haley on Saturday knocked Trump, 77, for his age after he seemingly confused her with former Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi. Haley also criticized Trump for his affinity for strongmen such as Russia's Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong Un.

Trump, she said at a campaign event in Keene, New Hampshire on Saturday, “needs to stop praising dictators.” She said as his UN ambassador, she tried to break up his “bromance” with Putin.

Trump has upped his already fierce attacks on Haley as well, targeting her given first name on his social media platform and amplifying false posts questioning her birthright U.S. citizenship.

The daughter of two immigrants from India, Haley was bornNimarata Nikki Randhawa but has long used her middle name Nikki and later took her husband's surname.

At the Saturday night rally in Manchester, Trump attacked Haley for her support among some wealthy donors who have also supported Democrats and called her a threat to social security.

Above the stage where Trump spoke, a large screen showed messages critcizing Haley, alongside unflattering pictures of her.

"Nikki Haley is loved by Democrats, Wall Street and globalists," one of the images on the screen read.

US Presidential Candidate Nikki Haley Recent Target Of 'Swatting' Attack. Here's What It Means

The South Carolina home of Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was the target of a "swatting" incident at the end of last month, a new report has said. According to Reuters, a man claimed to have shot a woman and threatened to harm himself at Ms. Haley's home in Kiawah Island on December 30. Ms Haley, who previously served as South Carolina's governor, and her family were not home at the time of the call. It was later deemed as a fake emergency.

South Carolina state police, the FBI, and Ms Haley's security team were informed of the event. Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies are yet to publicly identify a suspect in the case or make any arrests.

What is Swatting?

Swatting is the act of contacting police with a false report of an emergency. It involves anonymous people using the addresses of public figures when calling 911 to report fake violent incidents, like murder, and shootings. The goal of the false police report is to elicit a SWAT team response by the police to the target's home.

The incident is the latest in a string of 'swatting' attempts targeting high-profile national figures. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was also targeted by a swatting attempt on Christmas, just days before Ms Haley's home was reportedly targeted. Shenna Bellows, Maine's secretary of state who barred Trump from the state's Republican primary ballot, was also singled out in a similar incident.

Law enforcement experts see 'swatting' as a form of intimidation or harassment that is increasingly being used to target political figures and officials involved in the civil and criminal cases against Trump. As per Reuters, there have been at least 27 swatting incidents of politicians, prosecutors, election officials, and judges since November 2023. Authorities fear more such incidents will occur ahead of this year's presidential election.

Nikki Haley vs Donald Trump

Notably, Ms Haley is the last standing rival to front-runner Donald Trump in the race to secure the party's nomination to challenge President Joe Biden in November's election. She has lost the first two Republican nominating contests, in Iowa and New Hampshire, but has refused to drop out of the race.

In recent days, Ms Haley has accused former Trump of being confused and has questioned his ability to be president at his age. Reacting to her attack, Trump on Saturday said he feels "sharper now than I did 20 years ago.'' The former US President and his allies have also begun a campaign to force Ms Haley out of the race before the next major vote in the primary race, in her home state of South Carolina on February 24.

According to the Washington Post polls, Donald Trump commands a significant lead with 52% support, while former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley trails at 34% in the presidential race.

Donald Trump is one step closer to the Republican presidential nomination after a massive win over Nikki Haley in South Carolina.

The former president won his primary opponent's home state by a 20-point margin, his fourth consecutive victory.

As he celebrated, Mr Trump made no mention of Ms Haley, who vowed to stay in the race. Instead he set his sights on the general election in November.

That will be a likely rematch with his successor in the White House.

‘I have no regrets’: Nikki Haley drops out of Republican presidential race

Nikki Haley ended her presidential primary bid on Wednesday after being defeated in 14 Super Tuesday contests, ceding the 2024 Republican nomination to Donald Trump.

The former South Carolina governor, who became Trump’s UN ambassador and the first prominent woman of color to seek the Republican nomination for president, declined to immediately endorse Trump as his other Republican rivals did. Instead she challenged the former president to earn the support of her voters.

“The time has now come to suspend my campaign,” Haley said, announcing her decision in a short speech in Charleston, South Carolina. “I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard. I have done that. I have no regrets.”

Haley has endured a long string of losses, which began with Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and her home state of South Carolina. On Tuesday, when voters in 15 states cast ballots in contests known as Super Tuesday, Haley lost every state apart from Vermont. She had previously only won in Washington DC.

Among Trump’s prominent primary rivals, Haley was the last candidate left standing, so her withdrawal ensures that Trump will capture the Republican nomination.

The WSJ reported that Haley won’t announce an endorsement on Wednesday, but will encourage Trump to earn the support of Republican and independent voters who backed her.

The move leaves Trump clear to claim the Republican nomination for a third election running – even though he faces 91 criminal charges, attempts to remove him from the ballot for inciting an insurrection, and civil court rulings requiring him to pay more than $400m over allegations of financial fraud and defamation.

The prospect of the Republican nominee for president being a convicted felon draws ever closer.

Haley was governor of South Carolina from 2012 to 2017, before resigning in the aftermath of Trump’s shock win in the 2016 presidential election, in order to be appointed US ambassador to the UN. Despite her popularity in South Carolina when she was governor, Haley was unable to carry her home state, sealing her fate in the Republican primary.

In a surprise move, Haley resigned her role as US ambassador to the UN in 2018. Widely thought to have ambitions to run for president after Trump departed the scene, she denied speculation linking her to a place on his ticket.

Trump did not leave the scene – even after inciting the deadly attack on Congress on 6 January 2021, in an attempt to overturn his defeat by Joe Biden.

When the 2024 race kicked off in earnest, Haley sought to position herself as a fresh alternative to Trump. She made steady inroads in polling, benefiting particularly from strong debate performances while Trump refused to take the stage. For a stretch of the election cycle, as the Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, saw his much-hyped campaign stall then go into freefall, polls suggested Haley was becoming the most viable second choice for Republican voters.

The 51-year-old made electability a centerpiece of her message, arguing she was the only Republican who could beat Biden in a general election. On the campaign trail, she liked to remind voters: “Republicans have lost the last seven out of eight popular votes for president – that’s nothing to be proud of.”

Allies argued that her support for Ukraine in its war with Russia and her relatively nuanced stance on abortion – she called for a “consensus” rather than backing a proposal to ban the procedure after a specific number of weeks – would help the party appeal to independents and suburban women alienated by Trump.

Haley also emphasized her relative youth, asking Republicans to put their faith in a “new generation” of leaders. She made a splash with a call for “mental competency tests” for politicians over 75, a group pointedly including Biden and Trump.

The former governor leaned heavily on her biography, presenting herself as the “proud daughter of Indian immigrants” raised in the south, an upbringing she said provided a unique perspective on US race relations. On the campaign trail, Haley often received loud applause when she told Republicans: “America is not a racist country.”

In a campaign trail routine, she often sought to play up the possibility that she could be the first woman elected to US president, only to insist that she did not believe in “identity politics”.

But Haley also had to navigate a tricky relationship with Trump, a former boss she once promised not to challenge. Veering between mild criticism and dutiful praise, she attempted to shine as a figure of the party establishment without alienating the party’s populist base.

She could not quite squeeze DeSantis out of second place in Iowa – both a long way behind Trump, the winner – but she did see him leave the race before New Hampshire became the second state to vote. She notched her best performance in the New Hampshire primary, but she still fell 11 points short of Trump in the second state to vote.

Ultimately, though, Haley simply could not convince enough Republicans it was time to dump Trump.

Politics is a cutthroat business.

There is a reason why vast majority of the successful politicians/leaders in human history have been men (probably 99.99%).

Women are great at many things. Just not politics. They shouldn't enter it.

That’s because they haven’t been given a chance, like women weren’t allowed to vote or study before.

Once they started studying they actually did better than men, where I grew up it was mostly women that were toppers.

They are all ready making a big difference, men cannot keep making decisions for women, women representation is a must for civilisation to move forward.

They can indeed make big differences in many fields. I support women involvements in many areas.

But, politics is different. I don't think women are suitable for politics. Take a look at past 100 years. All the great leaders were men (Ronald Reagan, Vladimir Putin, Erdogan, Imran Khan, Nelson Mendela etc.).
 
She knew that humiliation would be her fate if she chose to continue this race. GOod for here that she stepped out. Chance against Trump was very little.

It is true that politics is very cruel, and its a male arena. That is why those women who succeed at politics are those who can outman the men and are known as iron ladies or cruel depending on which side of the fence you are in. They have to leave their womanly qualities to succeed in politics. Nikki lacked all those qualities.
 
Nikki Haley says she is voting Trump for president

Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has said she plans to vote for Donald Trump, her former opponent and boss, in the 2024 US presidential election.

Ms Haley, who once served as Mr Trump's United Nations ambassador, was the last of his major rivals to drop out of the party primary contest, in early March.

At the time, she did not endorse him but urged him to earn the votes of the millions who had supported her.

On Wednesday, in her first public remarks since leaving the race, she said Mr Trump "has not been perfect", but that President Joe Biden "has been a catastrophe".

Anti-Trump Republican voters largely coalesced behind Ms Haley's presidential bid earlier this year, and her dormant candidacy is still picking up support more than two months after she left the race.

She won more than 20% of the vote in at least two state primary elections over the past fortnight.

The Biden campaign is seeking to woo these Haley Republicans, a mix of moderate and college-educated independent voters who could help swing the election toward the Democrat. Mr Biden argues that Mr Trump has repeatedly "made it clear he doesn't want" voters who supported her.

Mr Trump, who has mocked his ex-cabinet member as a "bird brain", was angered by her prolonged primary challenge and recently shot down rumours that she was under consideration to be his vice-presidential running mate.

Speaking on Wednesday before a gathering at the conservative Hudson Institute think-tank in Washington DC, Ms Haley maintained the criticisms of both parties she made in her campaign.

But she reserved her strongest words for the incumbent.

Mr Biden, she said, oversaw a "debacle" in Afghanistan, "did nothing to deter the invasion" of Ukraine and, most recently, "threw Israel to the wolves".

"As a voter, I put my priorities on a president who's going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account, who would secure the border, who would support capitalism and freedom, who understands we need less debt not more debt," she said.

"Trump has not been perfect on these policies but Biden has been a catastrophe. So I will be voting for Trump."

But the former South Carolina governor did not call on her supporters to do the same.

"I stand by what I said in my suspension speech," she told the audience.

"Trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me, and not assume that they're just going to be with him, and I genuinely hope he does that."

The former president has not reached out in any capacity, she noted.

Speculation is now likely to grow over whether Ms Haley will formally mend ties with Mr Trump and endorse him.

Wednesday's remarks will also raise the spectre of a Trump-Haley Republican ticket in November, a move that would be met with fierce disapproval among some Trump backers.

Republican campaign strategist John Connors told the BBC that Ms Haley is "clearly sending a signal" to Mr Trump.

"This could be a signal from Haley to start talks to entertain a deal with Trump to join his ticket and get another look for VP," he said.

"It's worth a look because it would open up more fund-raising avenues from major donors, who are sitting on the sidelines right now, and also pull more college-educated female voters and never-Trump voters back into the fold."

Mr Connors added: "Trump-Haley - it would be a tough ticket to beat."

Not once has she condemned Israel’s aggression.

Hang on a minute . Are you related to Tommy Nikki or something.

Why have subtle dig at me.🤔🤔
 
The Western obsession with signing a bomb to be dropped on brown people reeks of Western colonialism.

You go to South Africa, and you come back as Gandhi. You go to South Carolina, and you become Nikki Haley.
 
The images of a Palestinian father holding his beheaded child while screaming in agony should haunt any decent human being.

Despite this, despite the fact that more children have been killed per day than any "conflict" in human history by the Israelis, despite the fact that the ICJ has said their is a plausible case for genocide, she chooses to sign a bomb with the words "finish them".

We can't take lectures anymore about human rights, decency, etc. from these types of people ( including their apologists like Champ Pal and Hitman) who spend their time trying to rationalise murder.

I wish Vivek went further in the race. Not seen a politician like him either in the UK or any western country. Confident in his own identity but still able to operate on the right wing of politics. Even though I didn't like much of his political stances, he was an astute politician.

Vivek astutely recognized from the outset that his prospects as a Republican primary candidate would remain overshadowed by the enduring presence of Trump in the presidential race. Consequently, he strategically positioned himself as a vice presidential contender alongside Trump, contrasting favorably with other Republican candidates.

On the other hand, Nimrata's attempts to position herself as a potential VP under Trump's wing, coupled with her efforts to garner foreign support, are evidently faltering.

She never positioned herself as a VP but direct competitor to Trump which alienated a lot of her supporters.

That is what I meant, she is trying now, and she is failing miserably.

Understood, also her policies are same as Biden I don’t understand why would Republicans vote for her.

Vivek’s policies are semi-Libertarian which is like old school Republican.
