Nikki Haley has secured her first Senate endorsements since launching her presidential campaign.
On Friday, Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins said they'd back Haley's White House bid.
Former President Trump currently has the support of 32 GOP senators, far outpacing Haley.

Since former President Donald Trump entered the 2024 presidential race in late 2022, his candidacy has dominated the GOP primary process, with most Senate Republicans slowly but surely falling into his camp.
