It’s time for a new generation of leadership to rediscover fiscal responsibility, secure our border and strengthen our country, our pride and our purpose,” Haley said in her announcement video Tuesday. He continued, “I would always tell her in the Statehouse, ‘Well, I would play the chick card right now.’ She’d say, ‘I’m not doing that, Nathan.’ She was focused more on the data, the numbers, here’s why we need to do it. She left her post in the administration on good terms with Trump – a rare feat – but then publicly criticized him for his involvement in stoking the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. In recent weeks, Trump has asked multiple advisers about creating a new disparaging nickname for his potential rival, privately suggesting that he target DeSantis’s weight instead of referring to him as “Ron Desanctimonious.” She resigned in the middle of her second term to become Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations – a role she served in until the end of 2018. Trump won the South Carolina primary by 10 points in 2016, which helped propel him to the nomination amid a crowded Republican field. Some Republican strategists say a big Republican primary field would be advantageous to Trump, who still enjoys significant support among the party base, and could splinter the vote, allowing the former president to walk away with the nomination. If successful in the primary, Haley, the daughter of Indian immigrants, would be the first woman and the first Asian American nominated by the Republican Party for president. We need to renew our American pride and stop apologizing for our founding values,” said the person familiar with Haley’s thinking, who requested anonymity to discuss the campaign. Her announcement could provide a jolt to what has so far been a slow-moving Republican primary campaign season, with many potential candidates hesitant to be the first to follow former President Donald Trump into the race. In her announcement speech, Haley will “lean into that idea that America is not racist, and we should be proud of who we are as Americans.

"The press often will ask me if I think Donald Trump is crazy, and I’ll say it this way: I don’t think he’s so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution," he joked. (Unsaid: That includes Trump's two races.) "That has to change," she declared, saying it was time for a "new generation" of leaders and flashing the words "NEW GENERATION" on the screen to make sure no one missed the point. The more traditional Republican agenda stands in contrast to Trump's populist message. But Pence also points out their greatest breach: when he refused Trump's entreaties to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election on Jan. Instead, Pence has been embracing Trump's record on the economy, immigration, the pandemic and foreign policy, arguing he deserves a share of credit for the administration's achievements. On his social media account on Truth Social this month, Trump shared a photo of a man, purportedly DeSantis, with three young women and the caption "Here is Ron DeSanctimonious grooming high school girls with alcohol as a teacher."

If elected, Haley would be the first woman as well as woman of color to assume the presidency, a historic fact that she embraced — to an extent. Those in the crowd said they were excited by the prospect of a Haley presidency. “She had a lot to go through as our governor.” In unveiling her campaign in Charleston, Haley sought to show some strength in her home state, which holds a critical early primary that influences the GOP nomination.

But then, less than a year later, she took the post of U.S. Haley has often referenced that time after the shooting as an important period of her governorship. But the statehouse is different," she said shortly after the shooting. And with Haley, the topic of race highlights how her politics have shifted. She is also one of several potential candidates with a tricky pattern to justify to voters: vehemently opposing Trump, then embracing him and now, running against him.

Haley's White House bid makes her the first major challenger to former President Donald Trump, who has technically been on the campaign trail for months.

"For a strong America, for a proud America, I am running for President of the United States of America." And I'm just getting started," Haley said. After Haley's first campaign event in Charleston, she's headed to hit the campaign trail with stops in the key primary states of New Hampshire and Iowa.

Reagan was the leader of the conservative movement at the time; Ms. The new generation of conservatives who rose to prominence after Mr. Trump, she said she “totally” agreed with “most of the policies that he did.” When Mr. Haley’s strength in the polls may not be a great test of the electoral appeal of traditional conservatism. Putin — it may say something about the appetite for her brand of conservatism. With Chinese balloons in the air and Russian troops advancing on the ground, a hawkish candidate should find it straightforward to argue for higher military spending and closer cooperation with allies — and to argue against cozying up to the likes of Vladimir Putin. Almost all presidential candidates who start in the single digits end at zero, and that usually doesn’t say much about the strength of their ideological faction. Haley, a former Rubio ’16 supporter and the child of Indian immigrants, is a darling of neoconservatives and a defender of Reagan’s continued relevance. Here again, it’s easy to imagine the opportunity to attack Mr. Trump, but unlikely to be the last. It’s the first major Republican challenge to Mr. Of all the candidates, she might be the likeliest to run back the Gipper’s Greatest Hits and, in doing so, teach us a thing or two about whether they still resonate among today’s Republican voters.

For years, Haley had resisted calls to remove the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds, even casting a rival’s push for its removal as a desperate stunt.

He remains popular with a wide swath of voters who will have significant sway in the primary, though some party officials have blamed him for the GOP’s lackluster performance in last year’s midterms. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are among those expected to launch campaigns in the coming months. But after the massacre and with the support of other leading Republicans, Haley advocated for legislation to remove the flag. The announcement makes Haley the first major Republican to officially challenge Trump, but she will hardly be the last. Ralph Norman — whom Trump backed in the 2022 midterm elections — became the first House member from South Carolina to publicly endorse Haley, tweeting that he would attend her launch.

Abed Ayoub, executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), also criticised Haley for giving Hagee a platform at the campaign launch.
