Yep, something slipped by me/us yesterday. While there is no dearth of “possibilities” showing up in the media & blogosphere for those that are thinking of declaring to be an actual candidate (e.g., Tim Scott, Ron DeSantis, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, Mike Pompeo, Kristi Noem, Larry Hogan, Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Mittens Romney, Glenn Abbott, Liz Cheney, Vivek Ramaswamy – and one place said Tucker Carlson???), there’s still only two in the race
Yes, two. Nikki Haley, former South Carolina Governor and Ambassador to the UN, made it official yesterday:
Nikki Haley Makes Major Announcement About 2024
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) has officially launched her campaign for president. Haley posted the video announcement on Twitter Thursday morning.
“Get excited! Time for a new generation. Let’s do this!” Haley captioned the video. She says in the video, “I was the proud daughter of Indian immigrants — not Black, not white. I was different.”
Well, that just cut the knees out from under our present Veep, Kamala, doesn’t it?
Regardless of how you may feel about her, she’s now made it a two-man band (Trump being the only other official candidate in the race). And Trump decided to continue his history of going after rivals:
“Nikki suffers from something that’s a very tough thing to suffer from: She’s overly ambitious,” Trump said
Er, isn’t that a character flaw of EVERYONE running for President, the highest elected office in our Republic AND (with the exception of Biden) the most powerful man in the Free World (historically)?
I’m quite sure that we’ll be writing a lot more about her and any other of the wannabees later on.
Does that mean we HAVE to include Baby Huey (aka, Chris Sununu) as well? Talk about being overly ambitious…
