The Facts

  • After teasing the concept for months, former UN Ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is expected to announce her candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

  • Haley’s team is reportedly sending invitations to her supporters to attend a "special announcement" on Feb. 15 at The Shed at the Charleston Visitor Center in downtown Charleston, S.C.


The Spin

Narrative A

While Nikki Haley has an uphill battle to secure the GOP nomination in 2024, she is an intriguing candidate with unique qualities compared to the prospective primary field. As a woman of color, she could represent a diverse future for the party, and being the first female of color president would look great for the Republican Party. Her victory might finally end America's divisive culture wars.

Narrative B

Nikki Haley represents everything that is wrong with the GOP and is a dangerous neocon relic from the G.W. Bush era. She will likely focus on the military-industrial complex instead of taking on Big Tech or standing up to leftist ideology, which is concerning. America and the GOP can't afford a candidate driven by the elitist political winds.
