00:08 the presidency.
00:09 In a recent interview with CBS News, Haley made a bold statement, declaring her intentions
00:14 to run for the highest office in the United States and dismissing any notion of becoming
00:18 a vice president.
00:19 The 51-year-old said, "I'm not interested in becoming vice president.
00:24 I'm running to be president and I'm running to win."
00:28 As the Iowa caucuses loom on the horizon, marking the official beginning of the nomination
00:32 process for both Republicans and Democrats, Haley's determination is evident.
00:37 The former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. and two-term governor of South Carolina is gearing
00:41 up for a head-to-head battle against former President Donald Trump, the current frontrunner
00:46 in the Republican candidate race.
00:48 Recent polling data from media outlets indicated that Trump maintained a significant lead with
00:52 48 percent of likely Republican caucus goers selecting him as their first choice for president.
00:58 However, it is to be noted that Haley is gaining ground, with 20 percent of the support marking
01:03 a 4 percent increase.
01:04 Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slipped to third place with 16 percent.
01:08 Addressing voters who may prefer her as vice president over president, Haley emphasized
01:13 her commitment to the top position, stating, "I don't play for a second.
01:18 I've never played for a second.
01:19 I'm not going to start now."
01:20 With the Iowa caucuses kicking off the primary season, the race is heating up and Haley is
01:26 confident in her chances.
01:28 In an interview with Fox News, she predicted a two-person race between herself and Trump,
01:33 asserting that it will become even closer as they head into New Hampshire and eventually
01:37 South Carolina.
01:38 Haley's popularity has seen a recent surge, with experts now considering her a viable
01:43 contender against the formidable Trump.
01:45 Born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa to immigrant Punjabi Sikh parents, Haley has positioned herself
01:50 as a formidable force in American politics, promising to take the fight to the very end.

02:00 on February 3, all eyes are on Nikki Haley and her bid for the presidency.
02:05 The political landscape is evolving and the stage is set for a compelling and closely
