Haley in the video announcement called for new leadership in her party and acknowledged that it had repeatedly failed to capture the popular vote in recent presidential elections.

"Republicans have lost the popular vote in seven out of the last eight presidential elections," Haley said. "That has to change. Joe Biden's record is abysmal, but that shouldn't come as a surprise. The Washington establishment has failed us over and over and over again. It's time for a new generation of leadership."
