The former South Carolina governor and US ambassador to the United Nations is to challenge her one-time boss, former President Donald Trump.
Ms Haley was expected to lay out her campaign plans in a speech on Wednesday, 15 February, in Charleston, South Carolina.
It marks the launch of her candidacy more than 20 months ahead of the November 2024 election.
Ms Haley, 51, is the daughter of Indian immigrants, and is known in the Republican Party as a solid conservative who can address issues of gender and race more comfortably than many of her peers.
In polling by Reuters/Ipsos released on Tuesday, Mr Trump support sat at 43 per cent, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 31 per cent and Ms Haley at four per cent.
