Nikki Haley announced Tuesday that she was resigning as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations by the end of the year.
The former governor of South Carolina offered no specific reason for why she was leaving but she shot down speculation that it was to prepare to challenge her current boss for the White House. “No, I am not running for 2020,” she said. “I look forward to supporting the president in the next election.”
Haley also offered effusive praise for the first family, singling out Trump son-in-law and presidential adviser Jared Kushner.
“Jared is such a hidden genius that no one understands,” said Haley.
