Haley is the first Republican politician to sign up as Trump’s challenger. However, his support is far from Trump’s.
Former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley plans to challenge the former president, according to news agency information Donald Trump’s about the future presidential candidate in the Republican primary.
This makes Haley Trump’s first challenger. On the other hand, 10 candidates have already registered for the primary election of the Democratic Party.
– My family and I have a big announcement to make on February 15th, Haley tweeted.
Haley has hinted at her candidacy repeatedly.
The 51-year-old Haley emphasizes that he is a leader of a new generation.
He has served for six years as the governor of the state of South Carolina.
He served as UN ambassador during Trump’s presidency for two years.
Trump has lost popularity among Republicans, and Haley is unlikely to be the only Republican politician emerging as his challenger.
Among other things, the governor of Florida by Ron DeSantisTrump’s term as vice president Mike Pence as well as the foreign minister of the Trump era Mike Pompeo expected to challenge Trump.
Trump commented on Haley’s possible candidacy on Saturday, saying that he has encouraged her to run.
The relationship between Trump and Haley has not always been without problems
In the 2016 primaries, Haley endorsed Trump’s opponents Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
Haley then said Trump was “everything a governor doesn’t want a president to be.”
Also during her time as ambassador, Haley often criticized and spoke out against Trump.
Haley has also criticized Trump’s involvement in the 2021 Capitol attack.
Trump’s popularity is clearly higher
According to opinion polls, only three percent of voters support Haley as the Republican nominee.
