Trump can’t run again, says Nikki Haley

Former US President Donald Trump can’t run for the presidency again and Republicans were wrong to support his campaign to reverse the 2020 election results, his former envoy to the UN Nikki Haley said in an interview with Politico Magazine.

Haley, who called Trump as her friend, said that she is “deeply disturbed” by what has happened to Trump since his election defeat to Joe Biden.

“He’s not going to run for federal office again,” Haley, who served as Trump’s envoy to the United Nations from 2017-2018, said.

“I don’t think he’s going to be in the picture. I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far,” Haley said, as it said that Trump will return to seek the presidency in 2024 to avenge his defeat and second impeachment.

She also criticized the Republican Party for supporting Trump’s campaign to reverse the election, which led to the shocking January 6 attack on the US Capitol by his supporters, after Trump gave them a boost into action at a rally outside the White House, where he urged them to march to the Capitol.

“We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she told Politico.

“He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him,” she said.

“And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

Haley confirmed to Politico that she is considering her own run for the presidency in 2024, and said she had not spoken to Trump since January 6.
