Nikki Haley, who was former President Donald Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, is gearing up for a likely 2024 run for president against her old boss.
Former Vice President Mike Pence speaks to a crowd of supporters at the University Club of Chicago on June 20, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois.But none so far have been as explicit as Haley.

It's time for new leadership. And it's time to take our country back. America is worth the fight—and we're just getting started."
