Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley over the weekend asserted that she would seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, but declined to endorse a successor to President Donald Trump.
Speaking to CNN's Dana Bash, Haley authoritatively stated "I will not" when pressed on whether she would run in the next cycle. She previously challenged Trump in 2024 for the party nomination, positioning herself as a traditional Republican foreign policy hawk with strong stances on Russia and Iran. She frequently clashed with Vivek Ramaswamy in primary debates over foreign policy.
