WASHINGTON: Nikki Haley, who was beaten back by Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination has landed a new job at the Hudson Institute. It’s a Washington DC based, ultra-conservative think tank 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 is the fourth member of the Trump administration to join the Institute.
Others are former attorney general William Barr, secretary of state Mike Pompeo and transportation secretary Elaine Chao, reports said.
“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.
“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 statement did not say what Haley’s responsibilities will be, whether the position is paid, or if she will work from Washington.
“It is fitting that Nikki has taken on this title. She is a courageous and insightful policymaker, and these qualities are vital in making Hudson the powerhouse policy organization it is today,” said Sarah May Stern, chairperson of the board of trustees.
