Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has secured the endorsement of a top Trump ally, House Freedom Caucus member Rep. Ralph Norman, for her first South Carolina delegation show of support as she launches her 2024 run for president.
Ralph Norman is the first South Carolina lawmaker to publicly back Haley’s bid for presidency.

Norman addressed the elephant in the room, saying that the Republican Party is looking for a “new vision” at the top of the ticket.
“In 2016, President Trump was exactly who the Republican Party needed at the time. For too long, Republicans had been marginalized. Then Trump came along and reminded us how to fight what we believe. We are better off now for what President Trump accomplished while he was president,” Norman told Fox News Digital.
“However, the Republican Party has entered a season of change.
