Former UN ambassador Nikki Haley said on Wednesday it was time to move past "stale ideas" and called for a new generation of leaders at the first stop of her campaign for the Republican nomination for US president in 2024.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (Reuters) -Former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley said on Wednesday it was time to move past "stale ideas" and called for a new generation of leaders at the first stop of her campaign for the Republican nomination for U.S. president in 2024. Haley is just the second declared candidate seeking the Republican nod to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in 2024, allowing her to stand out in a so-far uncrowded field but also exposing her to former President Donald Trump's anger. The 51-year-old former South Carolina governor declared her candidacy on Tuesday with a video that called for new party leadership a veiled jab at Trump, who some Republican leaders blame for the party's disappointing performance in November's midterm elections.
