CHARLESTON, S.C. — Nikki Haley is officially back on the campaign trail, and this time she’s seeking the White House.
Haley is the first former official from Donald Trump’s administration to announce a 2024 run for the presidency. While she’s behind in early polling, her early entry into in the Republican race gives her time to gain traction and close the gap with her old boss.
Haley, who served as South Carolina governor from 2011-2017, kicked off her 2024 campaign for the White House in a splashy event on Wednesday in Charleston — making her to the fifth prominent Republican woman to run for president.
