Nikki Haley’s announcement that she will run for US president in 2024 makes her the first Republican to challenge Donald Trump for the party’s nomination.
A former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador, Haley is the third Indian American to seek a presidential nomination.
“Now is not the time to hold back. Now is the time for a strong and proud America,” she tweeted, linking to a campaign video.
The former governor, 51, said in 2021 that she wouldn’t challenge Mr Trump for the White House. But she changed her position in recent months, citing the need for “generational change”.
Other Republicans who are tipped to launch their own White House campaigns include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former Vice-President Mike Pence.
