Former presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has answered the question political pundits have been asking since she dropped out of the Republican primary more than a month ago, what’s next?
The 52-year-old revealed Monday she’s joining the Hudson Institute; a conservative foreign policy think tank based in Washington, D.C. The former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. will serve as the group’s Walter P. Stern chair.
“When our policymakers fail to call out our enemies or acknowledge the importance of our alliances, the world is less safe,” Haley said in a statement. “That’s why Hudson’s work is so critical.”
“I look forward to partnering with them to defend the principles that make America the greatest country in the world.”
Haley emphasized the importance of U.S. alliances with Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan during her 2024 presidential campaign.
“Nikki is a proven, effective leader on both foreign and domestic policy,” Hudson President and CEO John P. Walters said.
“In an era of worldwide political upheaval, she has remained a steadfast defender of freedom and an effective advocated for American security and prosperity.”
The former South Carolina governor received Hudson’s Global Leadership Award in 2018.
Other notable members include former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Secretary of Elaine Chao. Previously serving are former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former Vice President Dan Quayle.
