(AP Photo/Meg Kinnard)CHARLESTON, S.C. – Nikki Haley’s husband deployed Saturday for a yearlong stint in Africa with the South Carolina Army National Guard, a mission that will encompass most of the remainder of her campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. “He's always been my rock,” she said after a deployment ceremony for about 200 soldiers at The Citadel, a military college in Charleston. Nikki Haley, who is also a former South Carolina governor, has been highly critical of President Joe Biden’s performance as commander in chief. During his deployment, the campaign said the couple’s college-age son, Nalin, will be taking over that role. “He left me as a single mom governor, but we’re still married,” Haley said during a recent campaign appearance in Greer, South Carolina.
