SHE’S BACK: Nikki Haley Announces New Job After Failed Presidential Campaign


Neocon Nikki is back…

After finally putting her massive failure of a presidential campaign out of its misery last month, Nikki Haley has been keeping a low-profile.

But now, Nimarata has just landed a new gig.

She will serve as the newest Walter P. Stern Chair of the Hudson Institute, a conservative foreign policy think tank.

The Hudson Institute announced Nikki Haley’s new position on X:

Like minds?

The New York Post has more details on Haley’s new role:

Nikki Haley announced Monday she is joining the Hudson Institute, a conservative foreign policy think tank, as their Walter P. Stern chair.

The former South Carolina governor last month dropped out of the Republican presidential primary after failing to gain enough momentum against rival Donald Trump following Super Tuesday, when the former president swept nearly every contest.

During her 2024 bid, the former US ambassador to the UN stressed the importance of America’s alliances with Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and said she will be using her position at Hudson to further her foreign policy objectives by guiding other policymakers.

“When our policymakers fail to call out our enemies or acknowledge the importance of our alliances, the world is less safe. That is why Hudson’s work is so critical,” Haley said in a statement.

“They believe the American people should have the facts and policymakers should have the solutions to support a secure, free, and prosperous future. I look forward to partnering with them to defend the principles that make America the greatest country in the world.”

The Walter P. Stern chair program started in 2020 to acknowledge the accomplishments of former Hudson chairman Walter “Wally” Stern, who played a key role in propelling the institute into a well-known foreign policy organization.

“Nikki is a proven, effective leader on both foreign and domestic policy,” Hudson president and CEO John Walters said in a statement. “In an era of worldwide political upheaval, she has remained a steadfast defender of freedom and an effective advocate for American security and prosperity. We are honored to have her join the Hudson team.”

The Guardian added:

Nikki Haley, who was Donald Trump’s last remaining challenger for the Republican presidential nomination until she dropped out of the race in March, has a new job.

The former South Carolina governor has accepted a role with the Hudson Institute, a Washington DC-based, ultra-conservative thinktank specializing in foreign policy affairs.

She will become the institute’s Walter P Stern chairperson, a post named for Hudson’s former chairperson who died in 2022. Haley served as US ambassador to the UN during Trump’s presidency and is the fourth member of his administration to join Hudson.

Former attorney general William Barr did so in 2020, and ex-secretary of state Mike Pompeo as well as former transportation secretary Elaine Chao did so the following year.

“When our policymakers fail to call out our enemies or acknowledge the importance of our alliances, the world is less safe,” Haley said in a statement from Hudson announcing her appointment. “That is why Hudson’s work is so critical.
