Republican Nikki Haley announces 2024 U.S. presidential run
She is the first Republican candidate to challenge former U.S. president Donald Trump
Former UN ambassador and South Carolina governor Nikki Haley announced her 2024 presidential bid on Tuesday.
She is the first Republican candidate to challenge former U.S. president Donald Trump, who announced his bid last November. Haley released a video on social media announcing the launch of her campaign.
"I'm Nikki Haley and I'm running for president," the 51-year-old politician said.
Haley underlined that being a daughter of Indian immigrants, she was always reminded by her parents how blessed they were to live in the United States. She also slammed U.S. President Joe Biden's administration and proposed a "new generation" of leadership in Washington.
"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 a video statement.
