“It’s time for a new generation of leadership — to rediscover fiscal responsibility, secure our border, and strengthen our country, our pride and our purpose,” Haley said in a video announcing her campaign.

“China and Russia are on the march. They all think we can be bullied, kicked around,” Haley said.

“You should know this about me: I don’t put up with bullies. And when you kick back, it hurts them more if you are wearing heels. I am Nikki Haley, and I am running for president,” she added.

According to news agency Reuters, Haley will lay out her campaign blue-print during an event in Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday.

If elected to power, Nikki Haley would be the first female president of the United States and first US president of Indian descent.
