Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, Republican Nikki Haley, has announced that she will run for president next year.
He is the second leading candidate in the Republican Party after former President Trump, who has announced his intention to run.
In a video posted on his Twitter account on the 14th, Mr. Haley said, "It's time for a new generation to become the leader," and called for a generational change.
When Haley was an ambassador to the United Nations, she strongly advocated an America-first stance on behalf of then-President Trump, and the United States and other countries shared responsibility for some of the activities of the United Nations as they did not serve the national interests of the United States. This led to a reduction in the UN budget.
But as Trump continued to make his allegations that the presidential election was rigged, he began to distance himself, now challenging Trump in the Republican Party nominee selection.
In a poll of Republican supporters conducted this month by research firm Morning Consult, 47% of Republican supporters said they would support Trump, followed by Florida, where the candidate is rumored to run. State Governor DeSantis has 31%.
