Despite serving in the Trump administration, Haley has had an often-times contentious relationship with the former president. During the 2024 primary campaign, Haley challenged Trump, and the former president often insulted her in return, calling her “ bird brain ” and making light of her husband’s military deployment.

Nikki Haley announced on the debut episode of her new podcast that, while she’ll be casting her vote for Donald Trump come November, it’s not because she thinks he’s a great guy or anything like that. In fact, she pretty much finds him to be a total asshole, and has not at all forgotten the many shitty things he did to her on the campaign trail.

On today's premiere episode of her new SiriusXM program, "Nikki Haley Live," the former U.N. ambassador, governor, and presidential candidate told listeners not to expect her to say "glowing things" about former President Donald Trump.
