The woman who came in second to Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary in 2024 had a rare moment of public disagreement with the president-elect on Saturday.

Trump defeated Nikki Haley, who worked in his first administration as an ambassador, but it was rumored that bad blood still existed between them. When Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris in the general election, he immediately and publicly announced that Haley wouldn't work for him again.

More recently, Trump has spoken out in favor of pausing a potential ban on Tik Tok, specifically suggesting he wants it around because he has a strong social media presence on the site. ...

Donald Trump is bound to upset some Republicans with an announcement made on Saturday about his new administration.

Days after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election, Trump turned to his Truth Social platform to announce two people he wouldn't employ as part of his second term in the White House. One of those people was former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who worked for Trump before.

Haley, who challenged Trump in the primary and got second place in the contest before dropping out and endorsing him, is thought by many experts to represent GOP voters who remain skeptical of the ex-president who's returning to office. ...

"Fox & Friends" host Brian Kilmeade on Friday seemed to push former President Donald Trump to take up former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley on her offer to help him in the final stretch of the campaign.

Former U.N. Ambassador and defeated GOP primary rival Nikki Haley took a victory lap in an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier on Tuesday about her prediction that President Joe Biden would bow out in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.

But she also told her party to find its footing, stop "whining" about Harris as the nominee, and start looking for substantive policy grounds to attack her.

"Republicans should not be surprised that we are now running against Kamala Harris," said Haley, who fought a bitter and contentious primary with Trump, including attacks on her husband's military service, before she caved and endorsed him. "What I will tell you is the Republican Party needs to make a serious shift here and the first thing is, the Republican Party, Donald Trump, people here at Fox, quit complaining that she is not giving an interview. You don't need an interview from Kamala Harris."...
