‘I think I can be that leader’: SC’s Nikki Haley further fuels speculation of 2024 run
MSNJan 20, 2023
In an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier on Thursday, former governor of South Carolina and UN ambassador Nikki Haley hinted at a potential run for the Republican presidential candidacy in 2024. She suggested, "Yes, I think I can be that leader."
Citing issues such as inflation, big business bailouts, and the economy, Haley said that if she runs, she's "running against Joe Biden. That’s what I’m focused on, because we can’t have a second term of Joe Biden."
On top of her rich experience as Governor and UN ambassador, Nikki Haley is a proven winner. She pushed her way into becoming her state's first female governor and through the hits from all sides while working in the Trump admin. She's completely right in that the 2024 race is between the GOP and Biden, and she is an intriguing candidate to lead the Republicans and the country into the future.
Nikki Haley is a classic example of an establishment GOP-groomed candidate whose administration would not fight for regular Americans, but rather for Mitch McConnel and the like. They're already advancing the propaganda machine by calling her the "next Margaret Thatcher" who will return the US to normalcy on the global stage, but voters don't want that — they want a true populist conservative who won't stab them in the back once in office.
There's a 41% chance that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for US President in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
