You should know this about me. I don’t put up with bullies. And when you kick back, it hurts them more if you’re wearing heels. I’m Nikki Haley, and I’m running for president.
Nikki Haley, former Republican governor of South Carolina and United Nations ambassador during the Trump Administration, announcing her presidential campaign.
