HALEY, OUT

The Story

UN Ambassador Nikki Haley is stepping down.

Roll the montage.

From 2011 to 2017, Haley was South Carolina's first f=male and Indian-American governor – notably taking down the Statehouse's Confederate flag. D=ring the '16 election, she often criticized then-candidate Donald Trump. B=t when Trump became president, he appointed her to rep the US at the UN. S=nce then, Haley hasn't been afraid to call out, sanction, or crack down on=those she considered unjust – including Russia, , Iran, Myanmar, and even the UN. She's also clashed with the admin=on Russia, refusing to cover=/a> for the White House when it didn't follow through with sanctions again=t the country.

So…why is she leaving?

The question of the hour. It is T-27 days until the m=dterms and Haley might be the Trump admin's most popular senior official. Not to mention one of the only female ones. In her <= href="https://link.theskimm.com/click/14705827.2677257/aHR0cHM6Ly9za2lt=XRoLmlzLzJJTklORzY/5bae7b412ddf9c633bb801b8B2e1e4615" target="_blank" st=le="color:#00b2a9;text-decoration:none;">resignation letter, Haley s=id she wants a break from more than a decade in public service. And might =ake a job in the private sector (hint: where the money's at). Trump says '=his was all part of the plan' and that Haley warned him about this months =go. But people have suspicions.

Like…

Whether Haley wasn't jiving with the admin's hardline=s. And felt like she was no longer the top international dog since Mike Po=peo became sec of state. Plus, there have always been rumors she'd run for=prez someday. But she says it's not happening in 2020. There are also questions about whether potent=al red flags raised this week about her use of private planes may have convinced her to exit early. =hatever the reason, she says she'll peace out by January.

Who will get the spot?

TBD. Trump says he's considering Dina Powell – his former deputy nation=l security adviser and a current Goldman Sachs exec. There were rumors Tru=p might consider Ivanka, =ut it's looking like he's sticking with the pros.

There hasn't been a high-profile exit in the Trump admin in a hot minute. And t=is one caught some in the admin off guard. But Trump and Haley insist they=re ending things on good terms. Eyes are on what Haley decides to do next.=/p>

Who everyone is asking about...

Here's what we know: last we=k, he visited Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul, Turkey to get divorce =ocuments so he could get remarried. His fiancée waited outside for ho=rs and called the authorities when he didn't come out. The Saudi gov said =hashoggi disappeared after he left the consulate. But Turkish officials th=nk he was killed inside recently became a critic. Yesterday, Turkey's foreign ministry g=t permission to inspect the c=nsulate. The US says it's concerned, too.
