Nikki Haley is expected to announce her 2024 run for president. Meet her family.

Haley previously served as the governor of South Carolina and President Donald Trump's US ambassador to the United Nations. She will be the first Republican to challenge the former president in a GOP primary election, if she announces a run as expected.

Political campaigns, and especially presidential ones, thrust the candidate's family into the public eye. Here are some of the faces you can expect to see along the campaign trail.

Haley's mother, Raj, studied law at the University of New Delhi. After moving to South Carolina, she earned a master's degree in education and taught in Bamberg public schools for seven years.

Her father, Ajit, earned a doctorate from the University of British Columbia and worked as a biology professor at Voorhees College for 29 years before retiring from teaching in 1998.

The Randhawas also operated a foreign-goods store in Bamberg that grew into Exotica International, a clothing boutique. Haley helped with bookkeeping as a teenager. The store closed in 2008 when Haley's parents retired after 32 years of operating the business, according to a press release from the company.

Born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa, Haley has three siblings: two brothers, Mitti and Charan, and a sister, Simran.

In her 2020 Republican National Convention speech, Haley spoke about the challenges of growing up in a Sikh family in South Carolina, saying that "America is not a racist country," but rather "a story that's a work in progress."

"I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants," she said. "They came to America and settled in a small Southern town. My father wore a turban. My mother wore a sari. I was a brown girl in a Black and white world. We faced discrimination and hardship, but my parents never gave in to grievance and hate."

When she married Michael — whom she met at Clemson University when they were both teenagers — they held two wedding ceremonies, one Sikh and one Methodist.

"I was born and raised with the Sikh faith, my husband and I were married in the Methodist Church, our children have been baptized in the Methodist Church, and currently we attend both," she told The New York Times in 2010.

Michael joined the National Guard in 2006 and was deployed to Afghanistan for 11 months in 2013. His unit, the Agribusiness Development Team, worked to help support local farmers in Afghanistan with growing crops to sustain their communities.

While he was deployed, Nikki and Michael communicated mostly by email, the Associated Press reported.

"There's a lot lost in translation," Michael said. "You don't get the emotion, the humor you get in one-on-one communication on the telephone or physically being there."

Rena was born in 1998, and Nalin was born in 2001. Haley's political career began in 2004, when she was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives.

Rena majored in nursing and minored in psychology, according to her LinkedIn profile. She now works as a pediatric nurse in South Carolina.

In July, Rena got engaged to longtime boyfriend Joshua Jackson, a math teacher and high school football coach who played on Clemson's college football team as a student.

"He asked…She said yes! And just like that, we have another son. So proud and happy for both of them," Haley wrote on Twitter.

Nikki posted on Twitter about helping her son move into his dorm for his sophomore year in 2021.

"Prayers that this year is better than the last Covid year," she wrote. "His class missed out on their high school senior year and freshman college year in so many ways. So proud of him but miss him already. Have a great year Nalin. We love you."
