This was a surprising career move.
Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under the Trump administration, has joined the Hudson Institute, a prominent conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C., known for its focus on international affairs and national security.
John P. Walters, President and CEO of the Hudson Institute, praised Haley’s leadership in both domestic and foreign policy, highlighting her commitment to defending freedom and advocating for American security and prosperity. Haley’s decision to join the Hudson Institute reflects her dedication to upholding fundamental principles amid global political challenges.
During her recent White House bid, Haley emphasized the importance of a robust U.S. foreign policy, contrasting with Trump’s America First approach. This difference in stance was evident in her debates with rivals like Vivek Ramanswamy, who supported Trump’s agenda.
In her new role as the Walter P. Stern Chair at the Hudson Institute, Haley expressed her commitment to promoting a secure, free, and prosperous future for America. Her recognition as a courageous and insightful policymaker aligns with the institute’s mission to provide informed solutions to global challenges.
Despite the conclusion of her recent White House campaign, Haley remains dedicated to voicing her beliefs and advocating for principles she holds dear. While refraining from endorsing Trump, she continues to urge him to earn the support of those within and beyond the Republican Party who did not back his candidacy. As Haley continues her endeavors, she remains a significant figure in shaping conservative discourse and policy.
