CHARLESTON, S.C. Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley laid out a vision for her 2024 presidential campaign on Wednesday, calling for a new generation of Republicans to move into power and reinvigorate the party.

We lost the popular vote in seven of the last eight presidential elections. We have failed to win the confidence of a majority of Americans, Haley told a crowd of well over 1,000 people in an open-air pavilion in Charleston, South Carolina. Well, that ends today. If youre tired of losing, put your trust in a new generation.

The event was Haleys official campaign launch after filing her paperwork to become Donald Trump s first declared challenger on Tuesday. Haley didnt mention Trump by name once, but alluded to a GOP electorate thats ready to move past the stale ideas and faded names of the past.

Haley, South Carolinas first female governor and the first woman of color ever to lead the state, argued that shes uniquely suited for the role of ushering the GOP into a new era after the party lost the 2020 presidential election.
