They want her to run against Trump.

Original report below
The nation was caught off guard early Tuesday when U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley resigned, effective at the end of the year.
Within minutes, figures in the #NeverTrump movement began losing their minds.

National Review Senior Writer David French, who tried to challenge Trump as an independent in 2016, made his feelings known.

But among the sadness, there were some figures looking at the moment as something bigger.
Within minutes of the announcement, figures in the #NeverTrump movement, some with close ties to Evan McMullin, who challenged Trump in 2016, hinted at a 2020 presidential run.
Emily Matthews, who is the Media Manager for Stand Up Republic, a group founded by McMullin, encouraged Haley to run for president in 2020.

Jennifer Rubin, the self-described “conservative blogger” at the Washington Post confidently stated her belief that Haley is going to run.

She followed up her speculation with a series of Tweets making her case as to why she should run.

“Classical Liberal” commentator Dave Rubin, who is close friends with Ben Shapiro, expressed his optimism for a possible Haley run in the future.
Not sure what’s going on here but if it somehow paves the way for her eventual presidential run then all good… pic.twitter.com/goMcCs9Wl6

There’s no telling what will happen going forward. The Trump presidency has been unpredictable.
Haley has been one of those unpredictable appointments, considering her neocon belief system doesn’t fit well with President Trump’s America First populism.
Only time will tell, but looking at the use of the #Haley2020 hashtag on Twitter, calls for her to run in 2020 aren’t going away soon.

Supreme Court Contender Amy Coney Barrett Visits White House as Trump Prepares to Announce Pick
She’s reportedly the frontrunner.
Judge Amy Coney Barrett visited the White House on Monday, as President Donald Trump zeroes in on selecting a nominee to fill the vacant seat on the US Supreme Court.
Barrett is reportedly a front-runner for the judicial nomination. She’s a generally conservative judge, with a staunch pro-life record. Her track record on immigration law issues is generally conservative.
Barrett currently serves as a circuit judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has advised President Trump that she is his preferred candidate for the seat on the court.
President Trump had confirmed that he plans to nominate a woman to fill the seat of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who died of complications from pancreatic cancer on Friday.
Democrats have launched a full-fledged fit urging President Trump to give them a break and decline to nominate a conservative justice, but they won’t be so lucky. Republican Senators and President Trump have rallied around the notion of appointing a justice before the November election, fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities.
Trump confirmed that he would be revealing the identity of his judicial nominee on Friday or Saturday, taking a few extra days to vet candidates. Florida Judge Barbara Lagoa is reportedly another candidate being considered for the nomination.

It’ll be inherently harder for incensed, power-thirsty Democrats to attack a female judicial candidate. Maybe they’ll alienate swing female voters through waging a scorched earth campaign to block the confirmation of Barrett, who is a mother of seven.
