Nikki Haley, the former United Nations Ambassador, will now reportedly be joining the Hudson Institute think tank, as revealed by the institution on Monday.
The role will enable her to maintain a prominent public image while she considers a potential second presidential campaign in 2028.
Haley, who was President Trump’s main competitor in the 2024 primary election, is going to hold the prestigious Walter P. Stern chair position at the institute.
Prior to joining the Trump administration, Haley held the position of governor in South Carolina. Occasionally, she has been suggested as a possible running mate for Trump in the vice presidential position.
“When our policymakers fail to call out our enemies or acknowledge the importance of our alliances, the world is less safe. That is why Hudson’s work is so critical. They believe the American people should have the facts and policymakers should have the solutions to support a secure, free, and prosperous future. I look forward to partnering with them to defend the principles that make America the greatest country in the world.” Haley said in a statement.
However, the animosity that arose during the primary battle between Trump and Haley may provide challenges for Trump in choosing her as his running mate.
