Nikki Haley Addresses Potential 2028 White House Run

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley ruled out a 2028 presidential bid.

“I am not running in 2028, but I will continue to talk about the things that I care about,” Haley said in an interview with CNBC.

“I will continue to push good policy. I will continue to support good candidates, and we want a strong America,” she continued.

The Hill shared further:

Haley’s remarks come as speculations continue to arise on the Republican presidential nominee for 2028. Some floating prominent names are Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, though no one has formally declared a bid.

Vance said last month that he would have President Trump’s endorsement he does run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2028, saying, “I think I would get his endorsement, but I also think there’s something to be said for people actually running their own race.”

The president did not explicitly say that he would endorse Vance but called him “a very talented person” and “very good person.”

Earlier last month, in an interview with NBC News, Vance said that it is “really obvious” that Cruz is going to be launching a presidential bid for 2028. Cruz previously sought presidential nomination in 2016 and was unsuccessful in his attempt.

“I’ll certainly be part of the discussion,” Cruz told MS NOW in August regarding the 2028 bid.

Haley, who served as the United Nations ambassador in Trump’s first administration, finished second behind the president in the 2024 Republican primary.

There’s also speculation that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will launch another presidential run in 2028.

DeSantis told Jake Tapper that he hasn’t “planned anything” for 2028.

“I have a job to do. The midterms was an important marker because you need to see what the political environment’s going to do. I got some more things I got to do, and I’ll be a free man come January 5th. Not that I’m counting down to that. And then we’ll look to see the landscape,” DeSantis said.

“Somebody that wants to run, why are you running? Do you have something you want to accomplish? I’m more about doing it, anything I do, to accomplish things. Not to be somebody,” DeSantis continued.

“The reality is the Democrats won such a big majority in the House and Senate that a Republican president, if they can even get elected in 28, would almost assuredly have a Democrat House and Senate on some level,” he added.

DeSantis was also asked if he would wait until 2032 to launch another presidential run.

“The only way that I would run for any office is if I can actually deliver big results. I don’t want to just be a timepiece where I just sit there like a potted plant. I don’t care about the trappings of power. I don’t care about any of that. I care about whether I’m delivering in a meaningful way that has a lasting impact,” DeSantis said.

“And that would be true for any office. I know people focus on presidential politics, but that would be true for anything you do, not just in politics, but in life,” he added.

More from Newsweek:

On Wednesday, Chris Christie, former New Jersey governor and failed 2024 Republican presidential candidate, took a swipe at DeSantis in an interview on WGIR New Hampshire’s New Radio while adding that he is considering a 2028 run himself after the midterm results.

“They’ve pushed me in the direction of considering it now. Because I think what we’ve seen is, that anybody the Republican Party nominates, who’s worked for President Trump in this administration in the last two years, or is Trump adjacent, is just not going to be elected in the general election,” Christie said.

He later said that DeSantis is a “Trump guy” and added that “I think we better start thinking about electing people who have some measure of consistency in their principles and that is certainly not Governor DeSantis in my view.”

Following the midterm losses, Trump administration officials speculated on why the results unfolded in such a bruising manner. Vance said that after speaking with a pollster, four areas jumped out, including ending the war with Iran, focusing on the cost of living and inflation, putting America first and changing America’s relationship with Israel.
