Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has said she will not run for president if Trump runs in 2024.
Haley has had an on-and-off relationship with conservatives and Trump supporters. She did a good job as United Nations ambassador but she has not always defended Trump when her support would have counted.
She may be trying to win back some of that trust now.
Just The News reports:
Nikki Haley says she will back Trump if he runs in 2024
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley says that she will support former President Trump if he chooses to mount a White House bid in 2024.
Haley, who has previously served as governor of South Carolina, indicated that she will not run for president in 2024 if Trump tosses his hat into the ring.
“I would not run if President Trump ran,” said Haley. “And I would talk to him about it. That’s something that we’ll have a conversation about at some point, if that decision is something that has to be made.”

I asked @NikkiHaley if she would support Donald Trump if he runs again in 2024.
“Yes,” she told me.
“I would not run if President Trump ran, and I would talk to him about it,” she added. “That’s something that we will have a conversation about, at some point.”

Haley is smart to put this out there now. It takes a lot of the pressure off of her.
