Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador, announced her candidacy for president on Tuesday.
The announcement, delivered in a video, marks an about-face for the ex-Trump Cabinet official, who said two years ago that she wouldn't challenge her former boss for the White House in 2024. But she changed her mind in recent months, citing, among other things, the country's economic troubles and the need for "generational change," a nod to the 76-year-old Trump's age.
President Joe Biden has said he intends to seek reelection in 2024, stalling any jostling for the Democratic nomination. If elected, Haley would be the nation's first female president and the first U.S. president of Indian descent. She was an accountant when she launched her first bid for public office, defeating the longest-serving member of the South Carolina House in 2004. Three terms later and with little statewide recognition, Haley mounted a long-shot campaign for governor against a large field of experienced politicians.
