I like her, she has an impressive resume, former 2 term governor of SC, appointed SC's first black to the Senate and herself is an Indian American, former UN ambassador, good record of supporting business, middle ground position on abortion and immigration, was on the board of directors of Boeing, has a great personal story, mother of 3 and the wife of a vet, no apparent skeletons in her closet, and would seem to have a wide appeal, particularly to critical swing voters like moderate women, soccer moms, minorities, etc. Of all the R candidates, I like her the best.
But at this moment, she doesn't have the name recognition and is WAY behind in the polls, about 6% vs. Trump, DeSantis, and Pence. The only way I see her getting the nomination is if DeSantis doesn't run or some sort of scandal takes him down. What I would worry about regarding a candidacy like Haley's is that it would split the anti Trump R's and open the door for Trump to take the nomination.
