In an unexpected development, President Donald Trump’s U.N. ambassador, Nikki Haley, plans to resign, according to multiple people with knowledge of her decision.

Haley informed her staff Tuesday morning that she plans to resign. The news of Haley’s resignation was first reported by Axios.

This will give her a year and a half to rest before she replaces Pence as the VP nominee.
