White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told pool reporters in a statement, "President Trump and Ambassador Nikki Haley will meet in the Oval Office at 10:30 a.m. this morning" in an event open to cameras and the press pool, meaning only a handful of journalists will be present.
Axios first reported Haley's resignation.
Haley has charted her own course during the Trump administration, admitting in a recent op-ed that sometimes she disagrees with the president. Her op-ed was a response to an anonymous op-ed published in the New York Times from someone who identified as a senior administration official. Haley's op-ed was headlined, "When I challenge the president, I do it directly. My anonymous colleague should have, too."

Timdogg6I think she has been a tremendous asset to the country and I wish her well. I trust her sights are on bigger and better things.

I hope not. Would much rather see her replace Pence on the ticket. I just don't see him being electable after Trump.

She just said "no" to 2020, and that she would support Trump.

Yeah, and last year Elizabeth Warren said she would not run for the Dems. Do you trust anything a politician says? They are all liars.

stoic-oneShe's already said she's supporting Trump, so I guess y'all can dump that derail... dear Lord!

Nikki Haley is one I would trust. That's one of her greatest traits, honesty.

I have to ask you guys- why the knee-jerk reaction to think of the worst? Why the immediate reaction of "She's going to run in 2020 and oppose President Trump."
Why, guys? Why?
Why do some of you go straight to "It's a disaster"?

What makes you think that? Mainstream party candidates generally do not run against sitting Presidents from their party.
And Presidents don't replace their VPs. It makes it seem as if they made a mistake.
What is with you guys?
