A former governor of South Carolina and the daughter of Indian immigrants, Ms Haley was the highest-profile woman in Mr Trump’s cabinet, serving as his ambassador to the United Nations.
Ms Haley, 50, considered a rising Republican star, has alternately held Mr Trump close and at bay.
She publicly criticized him during his 2016 presidential campaign and again after the Jan 6 riot, saying his actions after the 2020 election will be “judged harshly by history.”
Her rhetoric later softened when she called him a friend who still had a role to play in the party. In June, Ms Haley teased a 2024 run “if there is a place for me,” and said in October she would consider the idea at the start of next year. REUTERS
