Donald Trump will definitely have competition for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, as the former president has just picked up his first challenger.
Published reports indicate former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will formally announce she is running for president, with a formal “special announcement” planned for Feb. 15 at the The Shed at the Charleston Visitor Center.
“Haley famously said earlier she would not seek to challenge Trump if he ran again, but her message has since shifted to say the country needs to look toward a different path,” the Post and Courier newspaper reported.
In April 2021, she had said, “I would not run if President Trump ran, and I would talk to him about it.”
