Nikki Haley lands radio show until presidential inauguration: Report

After biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, another former Indian American primary rival of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, has landed a media gig, according to a media report.

“The American people are smart,” Haley, the first Indian American to get a cabinet rank as US Ambassador to the United Nations under Trump, wrote in an email to supporters Tuesday, the Washington Examiner reported.

“They’re sick of distractions in DC and noise from the mainstream media. They want to know what the issues are and how the solutions will impact them. That’s why starting on Wednesday, September 25, I’m excited to partner with SiriusXM on a weekly show that breaks down the policies and empowers the American people with the facts.”

Haley’s program, Nikki Haley Live, will air every Wednesday from 8 am to 9 am on SiriusXM channel 111. The former South Carolina governor said she would “break down the week’s most significant headlines, including the upcoming election, hotspots around the world, US policy, and even some music and entertainment.”

“Throughout the hour, I’ll also have open dialogues with a wide array of guests and callers to talk through the challenges facing Americans from varying perspectives and backgrounds,” she added.

In a separate press release, SiriusXM announced Nikki Haley Live will run until the presidential inauguration in January, which could free her up for a Cabinet position should former President Donald Trump win a second term.

Haley previously landed a private sector job in September as vice chair of the global communications firm Edelman.

News of Haley’s show follows Ramaswamy’s announcement one day earlier that the former Trump primary rival will host a limited-series roundtable TV program called Truths with Vivek Ramaswamy, which will debut on Fox Nation on Sunday. A shorter version will be broadcast on Fox News at 10 pm the same day.

Both have endorsed Trump, but Ramaswamy, who was less critical of the former president than Haley, has been making more appearances on his behalf on the campaign trail, the Examiner noted.
