South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is being considered for secretary of State in Donald Trump's administration, a source told CNN Wednesday.

In this Sept. 2, 2015, photo. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley speaks at the National Press Club in Washington. Americans should resist "the siren call of the angriest voices" in how it treats immigrants, Haley said Jan. 12, 2016, as the GOP used its formal response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address to try softening the tough stance embraced by some of the GOP's leading presidential candidates.

The Trump campaign also announced Wednesday that Haley, along with a string of other current and former lawmakers, will meet with the president-elect Thursday.

Trump will also be meeting with Florida Gov. Rick Scott, Cincinnati Mayor Ken Blackwell, NSA head Mike Rogers, Rep. Jeb Hensarling (Texas), and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Haley was a reluctant supporter of Trump during his presidential run and supported Marco Rubio during the GOP primary.
