Former President Donald Trump has a new challenger for the 2024 GOP nomination — Nikki Haley, his former ambassador to the United Nations.
Ms Haley joined his administration in 2017, and left at the end of 2018. She’s not thought to have much of a support base within the GOP, and in most polling is only tracking in the single digits.
Mr Trump’s main rival remains Ron DeSantis, who has not yet said if he will run for president in 2024. Mr DeSantis has led the former president in some head-to-head polling.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump’s ex-vice president appears to be launching another bid to prove his loyalty to his former boss and his base of support in the GOP. Axios reports that he plans to fight a subpoena from Jack Smith, the special counsel investigating the effort to overturn the 2020 election at the Justice Department.
While he continues to attack others, Mr Trump is once again in hot water after it emerged a new classified briefing folder was located at Mar-a-Lago and turned over to the Justice Department.
The empty manilla folder marked “Classified Evening Summary” was found in the one-term president’s bedroom, Mr Trump’s attorney Timothy Parlatore told CNN.
