CHARLESTON, S.C. — A few moments after former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley gave a rousing endorsement of Herschel Walker’s ill-fated U.S. Senate campaign in Gwinnett County, she offered a reminder of her own political ambitions.
“You know I always keep one eye on Georgia as I want to make sure all is going well,” the former South Carolina governor said during the September stop at a bustling Indian American shopping complex.
Haley has long kept close ties to Georgia, wading into competitive races and honing relationships with grassroots activists, well-connected operatives and emerging Republican stars as she readies her own long-expected presidential bid.
