South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has reportedly accepted President-elect Donald Trump’s offer to be ambassador to the United Nations, making her the first woman to be picked for his Cabinet. The first five appointments were white men. Haley, the daughter of Indian immigrants, has almost no foreign policy experience, except for making eight trips overseas to discuss economic development opportunities. During the presidential race, she supported Florida Senator Marco Rubio, but later said she voted for Trump. If confirmed by the Senate, she would be replaced by South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Henry McMaster, a major ally of Trump.
