Nikki Haley to Host Weekly SiriusXM Talk Show Through Presidential Inauguration
Deep Look:
Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is stepping into a new role as the host of her own weekly talk show on SiriusXM. Set to air every Wednesday morning from 8 to 9 a.m. ET on the satellite radio system’s Triumph channel, Haley’s show will offer a mix of political commentary, listener interactions, and discussions on lighter topics, including sports and music.
The show, which will run at least through the inauguration of a new president in January 2025, reflects Haley’s desire to cut through what she describes as the “craziness” in today’s political media. “My kids, they don’t watch the news, because they think both sides are crazy,” Haley told the Associated Press. “And they’re not wrong about that. I think we have to take the craziness out and break things down in a way that people feel empowered.”
In her new role, Haley aims to avoid the hyper-partisanship that has come to dominate many news outlets. Despite being a prominent Republican figure, Haley says her show will not be a platform for campaigning for a particular candidate, including former President Donald Trump, whom she endorsed after withdrawing from the 2024 GOP race. Although Haley remains supportive of Trump, she noted that her radio program is meant to focus on issues rather than political allegiances.
In addition to politics, Haley plans to bring personal interests into the mix, with discussions about Clemson football, her love for running, and even music, including a possible mention of her favorite artist, Taylor Swift. By keeping the tone of her show conversational and accessible, Haley hopes to create a space where Americans can discuss policy without feeling overwhelmed by political biases.
While several media outlets reportedly approached Haley with offers for partisan news commentary, she turned them down, saying she is more interested in creating a show that appeals to Americans tired of predictable partisan narratives. “I think that’s what Americans are tired of,” Haley said. “They don’t want to watch a news show and know exactly which candidate they’re pushing. They want to know the issues and how they affect their families.”
For now, Haley’s show is scheduled to air through January, but she is open to extending the program if it resonates with listeners. “If Americans like what they hear,” she said, “we’ll keep it going.”
