Nikki Haley Odds Crash As Republican Seeks US Presidential Nomination
Betting sites have acted fast to slash Nikki Haley’s odds on winning the Republican nomination for the 2024 US election as the politician prepares to run against Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis for the GOP pick.
Haley is expected to announce her campaign for the Republican primaries at some point in February, and has been garnering support from across the party.
The former US ambassador to the United Nations worked under Trump and has generally defended the businessman’s tenure in the White House.
She had even indicated she would support Trump for re-election in 2024, but appears to have eyes on the top job herself.
Speaking on FOX News recently, she said: “When you’re looking at a run for president, you look at two things: You first look at, does the current situation push for new leadership? The second question is, am I that person that could be that new leader?
“Yes, we need to go in a new direction. And can I be that leader? Yes, I think I can be that leader.”
According to CNN, Haley is likely to announce her intention to run for president in Charleston in mid-February. And UK bookmakers have already made their move.
