2024 GOP candidate Nikki Haley's delicate Trump balancing act

In this 2019 interview, former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley talks to Margaret Hoover about her trailblazing career and her perspective on the future of the Republican Party. Haley–who recently announced a run against Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination–discusses representing Trump at the U.N., her support for his policies, and her reservations about his style. Haley also reflects on a pivotal moment in her governorship: the removal of the Confederate flag from the grounds of the South Carolina statehouse after the racially motivated shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston in 2015. She comments on the U.N.’s relevance in a changing world, whether the U.S. needs to remain part of the organization, and how Trump’s presidency impacted America’s reputation on the world stage.
