Nikki Haley's Ambitious Path to the White House in a Divided GOP

Nikki Haley, a 2024 Republican presidential contender, is charting a hazardous path in the increasingly isolationist Republican Party by advocating for a more assertive U.S. foreign policy. Haley wants to send special forces to Mexico to combat drug cartels, increase military aid to Ukraine, and confront China over Taiwan. Despite low polling numbers, Haley is focused on educating voters about her foreign policy vision, even if it puts her at odds with some of her party's rank-and-file. Her campaign believes that her support for Ukraine is more popular among voters looking to move past Trump than with the broader Republican Party.
