(AP) - Few have navigated the turbulent politics of the Trump era like Nikki Haley.

She once vowed not to step in the way if former President Donald Trump ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. But on Wednesday, she will become the first major Republican candidate to enter the race against him.

She is the only Republican woman of color expected in the 2024 contest. And facing steep odds, she loves to remind people that she has never lost an election.

On the eve of Wednesday’s announcement, there is broad agreement that Haley is about to be tested as never before.
