Haley would now be replaced by Lt Gov Henry McMaster as governor and will complete her term that ends in 2018.
“Governor Haley appears up to the task and seems to understand this as well,” said Senator Ben Cardin, Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as he voted to approve Haley’s nomination as the next US Ambassador to the UN.
“What Governor Haley lacks in foreign policy and international affairs experience, she makes up for in capability, intelligence, and a track record of building coalitions in South Carolina,” Cardin said.
Once a fierce critic of Trump, Haley in November was selected as the first woman and first minority to serve in the Trump Administration.
