Nikki Haley Rules Out 2028 Presidential Run, Cites GOP Midterm Failures

Nikki Haley, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and Republican Governor of South Carolina, announced that she will not be a candidate in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. In an interview with CNBC, Haley stated, "I am not running in 2028." She emphasized that her decision would not prevent her from remaining involved in politics, saying, "I will continue to speak about the things that are important to me. I will continue to promote good policy, I will continue to support good candidates, and we want a strong America."

Haley also commented on the Republican Party's disappointing performance in the midterm elections, calling it a "statement from the American people" who are tired of inflation and the high cost of living. She noted that Republicans had full control of Congress and the White House for two years but saw no change. Haley also criticized former President Trump's approach to Iran, suggesting he should have "finished the job" against the country.

Haley, a staunch supporter of Israel, visited the country during the Swords of Iron War. During her visit, she toured the Lebanese border, posed with IDF soldiers, and wrote on a shell, "Finish them! America loves Israel." She also visited the Samaria region and viewed the coastal plain from a viewpoint in Pedu'el.
