Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has officially announced her candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, becoming the first Republican to challenge former President Donald Trump.

In a video released Tuesday, Haley said, "I've heard the voices that speak for reform. I've felt the forces that demand change. And I believe that our country is still the greatest force for good in the world. But we are losing that power, and we are losing it fast."

Haley's entry into the race marks a significant moment in the GOP primary season, as she is the first serious contender to challenge Trump's dominance within the party. Her announcement is likely to shake up the race and intensify the competition for the Republican nomination.
