Citadel founder Ken Griffin said he’s “really paying attention to” Nikki Haley as a candidate he might support in the Republican presidential primary.

“Nikki Haley has the foreign policy experience we need right now,” Griffin said Friday in an interview with David Rubenstein at the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon in Virginia. Last week, he called the former US Ambassador to the United Nations a “rock star” on the campaign trail and said she has the experience to be in the Oval Office.
