Presidential candidates react to Supreme Court’s Harvard, UNC affirmative action ruling
Former Gov. Nikki Haley
Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and the first Indian-American governor of South Carolina, took to her Twitter account to celebrate the Supreme Court's decision.
“The world admires America because we value freedom & opportunity. SCOTUS re-affirmed those values today. Picking winners & losers based on race is fundamentally wrong,” tweeted Haley.
“This decision will help every student—no matter their background—have a better opportunity to achieve the American dream.”
Haley announced her candidacy in February, and will likely face off in the Republican primaries against former President Donald Trump who appointed her to be U.N. ambassador.
