Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley said on Wednesday that she will not run for president in 2028. Telling CNBC, she said, “I am not running in 2028, but I will continue to talk about the things that I care about,” and that she would keep pushing good policy and supporting good candidates. Bloomberg reports that her remarks followed Republican losses in the 2026 midterm elections, which gave Democrats decisive congressional majorities, and that she criticized the Trump administration over the results. Bloomberg also reports that she cited a need for unity in the Republican Party. The Washington Examiner reports that she has increased her media presence since the loss and notes that she ended her 2024 campaign against Donald Trump after Super Tuesday.
