Haley is the former U.S. Ambassador to the UN and was the former Governor of South Carolina.

“Born in communist Cuba, Leora Levy knows how harmful Biden’s socialist agenda has been on American families. In the Senate, she’ll defend taxpayer dollars, stand with police, and protect our kids’ education," Haley said in her endorsement statement. "She’s the kind of fighter we need in our corner and I couldn’t be more proud to support her.”

Levy thanked Haley for the endorsement in a statement, saying:

"As women with parents who immigrated to this country in search of a better life, we know how important it is to preserve the American Dream for future generations. I am not a career politician, but I am a Career American fighting for Connecticut families."

Levy is running against incumbent Democrat U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal.
