WASHINGTON — Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will join the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C., as its next Walter P. Stern Chair, according to a press release.
“Nikki is a proven, effective leader on both foreign and domestic policy,” Hudson President and CEO John P. Walters said in the release. “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.”
Haley’s new move comes after she dropped out of the Republican primary in March following a crushing defeat on Super Tuesday against former President Donald Trump. She campaigned on a moderate agenda compared to her rivals, which earned her the support of a wide range of voters.
Haley also consistently utilized her experience as the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in debates and at campaign events. She served in that role from 2017 to 2018 under the Trump administration, where she advocated for strong Israel-U.S. relations and helped lead the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement.
Other renowned members have also joined the Hudson think tank. For instance, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao joined the group in 2021.
