She was born and raised in a Sikh family. Does anyone know if she converted to Christianity, or is still Sikh?

She has said she converted to Christianity before her marriage and was baptized as a Methodist, although she (according to earlier interviews) and her children sometimes attended Sikh services in deference to her parents and her upbringing. (I find it difficult to imagine she currently attends Sikh services, but it may be so; she heartily denounced the Muslim ban.)

Of more import may be the latest kerfuffle with her boss. On Sunday she announced that the administration would impose additional sanctions on Russia because of its support of Assad. Turned out that was the original plan, but the president changed his mind — and didn't tell Haley differently.

A former governor of South Carolina, Ms. Haley has assumed a more prominent role than most of her predecessors, at times eclipsing the secretary of state. And along the way, Mr. Trump has grown suspicious of her ambition, convinced that she had been angling for Mr. Tillerson’s position and increasingly wondering whether she wants his own job.

Republicans close to the White House whisper about the prospect of an alliance between Ms. Haley and Vice President Mike Pence, possibly to run as a ticket in 2020. Aides to both scoff at such suggestions, but the slightest hint of such a pairing would be likely to enrage Mr. Trump, who has made it clear that he plans to run for re-election.

Sanctions Flap Erupts Into Open Conflict Between Haley and White House

Haley would be a poor choice to run for president. Immigration, the #1 concern of republican voters, is her weakness.
