Nikki Haley, former United States ambassador to the UN under Donald Trump, is set to travel to New Hampshire early next month to campaign alongside a former Trump State Department official who is running for Congress, Fox News informed.
Haley is a former two-term governor of South Carolina and is considered a prospective GOP presidential candidate in 2024. Her visit to the state that has traditionally held the first primary in the presidential election would fuel speculation about her ambitions on a national level.
Haley will be spending April 4 in New Hampshire, where she will campaign alongside Republican congressional candidate Matt Mowers at a number of events, including a fundraiser in Salem. On Thursday, Fox News was the first to report on Haley’s voyage across the country.
Mowers is a leading Republican candidate in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District, a longtime key House swing district that the GOP hopes to shift from blue to red in the midterm elections in November.
This will be Haley’s first trip to New Hampshire since October 2020, when she was campaigning alongside Mowers in his initial run for the post. Mowers won the GOP primary but was defeated by Democratic Representative Chris Pappas in the general election. This year, the two-term Democratic incumbent is standing for reelection once again.
Mowers, who worked as the executive director of the New Hampshire Republican Party in 2014 and then as the state director for then-New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s 2016 presidential campaign before joining Trump’s campaign, announced his second congressional race in August. In the Republican primary, Mowers is the front-runner when it comes to fundraising. In the first four months of his campaign, he raised approximately $850,000 and had over $575,000 in cash on hand at the start of the year.
Haley said in a statement that she is proud of supporting Mowers and that she is looking forward to going back to Granite State.
