    From the Associated Press...

    "COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Nikki Haley is moving closer to making her presidential campaign official.

    On Wednesday, supporters of the former South Carolina governor will get an email invitation to a Feb. 15 launch event in Charleston, at which she plans to announce her campaign, according to a person familiar with the plans but not authorized to speak publicly about them.

    News of Haley's plans was first reported by The Post and Courier of Charleston.

    Haley, 51, served as South Carolina's governor for six years before serving as President Donald Trump's ambassador to the United Nations. When she enters the race, Haley will be the first contender to join the contest against her former boss, who is currently the sole Republican seeking his party's 2024 nomination."


    I remember her saying she wouldn't run for President if Trump was running, so I guess she changed her mind. I thought perhaps she might be his VP choice.

    You think Trump will badmouth her, if she runs, like he did to DeSantis (who hasn't declared he's running)? If Trump does tee off on Haley, I thkink he will lose more of whatever female vote he has left at this point. DeSantis just declared war on CRT in FL education. I wonder what Haley will declare about her intentions should she declare..

    Her announcement is already drawing negative attention in some quarters:

    Of course he will badmouth her; he can't control himself in that regard.

    I have a feeling Nikki will end up being just another face in the "also rans." The contest is going to be Trump/DeSantis I believe.

    Perhaps, but I have trouble believing she will go down quietly if she goes down as an "also ran.". Although not my first choice, I hope she jumps in with both guns blazing, particularly at the democrats instead of shooting herself in the foot like Trump's doing.,

    Nikki Haley lost the Nevada Republican primary yesterday when she was the only one on the ballot. She lost to "None of these candidates" by 30%. The caucuses are today and Trump was not on the primary ballot as he preferred to just compete in the caucuses. Haley has a San Francisco fundraiser coming up soon for Democratic megadonors in California. Perhaps she is just in this for the money and is willing to be humiliated for the millions she is receiving in donations, which, I assume, she will get to keep if she drops out or is defeated. I guess the Dem donors would rather give their money to her rather than any of the possible Democrat candidates. What a weird situation!

    I'm enjoying this. There has been such a determined hate campaign against Trump, yet in a democracy, it's the common people who choose. The wishes of the people are clear.
    I just hope he survives....the CIA have a knack of disposing of those they disagree with.

    Well, the Democrats (the WEF) is still so afraid of Trump, one member of Congress leaked the plan they had to make a LAW to prevent Trump from becoming president because the SCOTUS said they could not. And now they are offering citizenship to illegals who join the military. Chinese nationals? Will they, then, use them to fire on US citizens who oppose them?
    53 states now offer constitutional carry without permits and a few allow open carry too.

    She "suspends" her campaign. Just in case.

    Well, as Trump might say, "Be afraid, be very afraid!" of anyone, including Biden, going up against me. Love it!!

    This twitter account has been active for around three years, even before Nikki Haley started her presidential campaign . All this time, she has been ranting against President Trump, and supporting Biden.
    If this does not prove that the Haley supporters are liberals, I don’t know what does !

    She will heretofore be a regular on the left wing Sunday talk shows along with Chris Christie. Look at her campaign as an audition for those shows where she displayed her colors.
