Nikki Haley Set to Announce Presidential Bid, But First She Called Trump – He Had 4 Words

‘You should do it‘
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is expected to announce her 2024 presidential candidacy soon, according to reports.
“Cementing what has been in the works for months … Haley will formally announce she is running for president and will seek the Republican nomination for her party’s 2024 ticket, ” Charleston’s Post and Courier reported.
Less than a year ago, Haley, who was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President Donald Trump, was quoted as saying she would not run for president against her former boss.
“I would not run if President Trump ran,” she told reporters at the time, “and I would talk to him about it.”
Evidently, she now has Trump’s blessing to pursue the presidency. In a conversation with reporters aboard his plane on a campaign trip Saturday, Trump said, “She called me and said she’d like to consider it, and I said, ‘You should do it,’” according to CBS News.
“I talked to her for a little while,” Trump told reporters. “I said, ‘Look, you know, go by your heart if you want to run.’”
