The former real estate tycoon sees potential contenders emerging in the Republican ranks.
His former vice president Mike Pence, his former head of diplomacy Mike Pompeo or the governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin… Many are thinking about it.
According to the polls, which are sometimes wrong, Haley, who grew up in a small South Carolina town before becoming governor, is not the main threat to Donald Trump.
In fact, it is likely that she herself will have to face a rival from her state: South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, who is also considering her candidacy.
And coincidence or not, Scott will be participating in a rally this week in the seaside city of Charleston.
But among all the names one stands out: Ron DeSantis, Florida governor and rising star of the party, who hasn’t made a move yet.
Therefore, everything indicates that the battle for the Republican nomination will be arduous.
“Popcorn”
The Republican candidate who emerges from the primaries will face the nominee of the Democratic Party in November 2024.
“Haley’s announcement officially kicks off the 2024 Trump messy primary,” Democratic Party leader Jaime Harrison said.
“Get out the popcorn,” he added, hinting that it will be similar to a Hollywood blockbuster action movie.
On the Democratic side, President Joe Biden has announced that “he intends to run”, without having specified it for the moment.
