Nikki Haley assumes the Walter P. Stern Chair at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C. John P. Walters, the President and CEO of the institute, lauds Haley’s leadership in global and domestic affairs, praising her commitment to freedom and American interests.
Following her withdrawal from the Republican primary race after a significant defeat by ex-president Donald Trump on Super Tuesday, Haley transitions to her new role. Despite her moderate campaign strategy, Haley garnered support across various voter demographics.
During her tenure as the US Ambassador to the UN under the Trump administration, Haley gained prominence for her unwavering support of strong US-Israel relations and the US withdrawal from the Paris climate accord.
Joining the ranks of notable figures like Mike Pompeo and Elaine Chao, Haley’s appointment comes amid the institute’s mourning for its late former leader, Walter P. Stern. Hudson Institute emphasizes its mission to provide policymakers with solutions for a secure and prosperous future, aligning with Haley’s vision for defending American principles.
Details regarding Haley’s compensation and work location remain undisclosed. Sarah May Stern, chairperson of the board of trustees, praises Haley’s courage and insight, highlighting her role in strengthening Hudson Institute’s policy initiatives.
