00:09 In a recent interview with CBS News, Haley made a bold statement, declaring her intentions

00:14 to run for the highest office in the United States and dismissing any notion of becoming

00:18 a vice president.

00:19 The 51-year-old said, "I'm not interested in becoming vice president.

00:24 I'm running to be president and I'm running to win."

00:28 As the Iowa caucuses loom on the horizon, marking the official beginning of the nomination

00:32 process for both Republicans and Democrats, Haley's determination is evident.

00:37 The former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. and two-term governor of South Carolina is gearing

00:41 up for a head-to-head battle against former President Donald Trump, the current frontrunner

00:46 in the Republican candidate race.

00:48 Recent polling data from media outlets indicated that Trump maintained a significant lead with

00:52 48 percent of likely Republican caucus goers selecting him as their first choice for president.

00:58 However, it is to be noted that Haley is gaining ground, with 20 percent of the support marking

01:03 a 4 percent increase.

01:04 Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slipped to third place with 16 percent.

01:08 Addressing voters who may prefer her as vice president over president, Haley emphasized

01:13 her commitment to the top position, stating, "I don't play for a second.

01:18 I've never played for a second.

01:19 I'm not going to start now."

01:20 With the Iowa caucuses kicking off the primary season, the race is heating up and Haley is

01:26 confident in her chances.

01:28 In an interview with Fox News, she predicted a two-person race between herself and Trump,

01:33 asserting that it will become even closer as they head into New Hampshire and eventually

01:37 South Carolina.

01:38 Haley's popularity has seen a recent surge, with experts now considering her a viable

01:43 contender against the formidable Trump.

02:00 on February 3, all eyes are on Nikki Haley and her bid for the presidency.
