On February 14, 2023, Nikki Haley, former South Carolina Governor and United States Ambassador to the United Nations, announced her decision to run for the presidency in the 2024 election cycle.
A consummate neoconservative and one of the Republican establishment’s pro-diversity darlings, Haley’s announcement was met with strong opposition from national populists.
United to Change, a nationalist conservative website that creates petitions to hold politicians accountable, recently launched a #NeverNikki petition drive to oppose her candidacy for the Republican nomination in 2024.
In the petition, the United to Change claimed that “Nikki Haley pretends to be a conservative” and she is “most woke Republican on the national level.” On top of that, the petition highlighted several unsavory aspects about Haley’s track record as a politician and public figure:
The petition concluded by arguing that Haley is “a self-centered RINO who claims to be a conservative but votes and acts like a woke liberal once in office.”
All things considered, Haley’s run represents a renewed push by the establishment to de-Trumpify the Republican Party. Haley is a neocon par excellence, who will dial up interventions abroad, kowtow to massive corporations, and expand immigration — illegally and legally — at the Historic American Nation’s expense.
