Nikki Haley reportedly planning to run for president in coming days

The former Republican governor of South Carolina and the 29th ambassador of the United States to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, is reportedly planning to declare her bid to become president.

The people familiar with the matter said that the probable candidate could indicate her run in the form of a video that could arrive in the coming days.

The report said that the video was intended to drive attendance and enthusiasm for an in-person announcement over the coming weeks.

The video comes after some of her political advisors have been relocating to Charleston, South Carolina for a campaign.

Why It Matters: Haley could be the first Republican to enter the 2024 presidential race after Donald Trump announced his intent to run in November last year.

The former president kicked off his presidential campaign last week in South Carolina and New Hampshire, both of which are early-voting shares.

Haley's campaign launch is expected to occur in South Carolina, according to multiple sources.

Trump has been vocal about another Republican candidate, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said we ll handle that if the latter decides to run.
