Watch Live: Nikki Haley, first Republican to take on Trump, launches 2024 presidential run
CBSN
Washington — Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, is set to formally launch her 2024 campaign for the White House on Wednesday.
The announcement to supporters, taking place in Charleston, South Carolina, comes a day after Haley released a video declaring her candidacy for the Republican nomination. She is so far the only GOP challenger to former President Donald Trump, whose administration she served in, though the field of candidates vying for the Republican presidential nomination is expected to grow.
Haley, 51, broke barriers when she was elected governor of South Carolina in 2010, becoming the first woman to lead the state and its first Indian-American governor, and would do so again if selected as the GOP presidential nominee as the first woman to top the party's ticket.
