Nikki Haley Says Her Dad Died on Father’s Day: ‘My Heart Is Heavy’
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley announced Sunday that her dad had died on Father’s Day.
“This morning I had to say goodbye to the smartest, sweetest, kindest, most decent man I have ever known,” Haley wrote in a post on X which also included a picture of her embracing her father, Ajit Singh Randhawa. “My heart is heavy knowing he is gone.”
The former United Nations ambassador, who sought the Republican presidential nomination earlier this year, did not say how old her father was or give a cause of death. In January, Haley briefly left her campaign trail to visit her dad after he was hospitalized. Reports at the time said he had cancer.
