January 24, 2024

Trump Campaign Reaches 158 Endorsements in South Carolina 

 

North Charleston, SCToday, President Donald J. Trump expanded his South Carolina Leadership Team to 158 current and former Republican officials endorsing his campaign, including nearly every state senator or State Representative who had once endorsed his primary opponents who are no longer in the race. Today’s announcement is in addition to the more than 250 grassroots leaders who endorsed President Trump in South Carolina in June. 

 

“Nikki Haley abandons everyone – she abandoned President Trump, her former colleagues in the state legislature and even the South Carolina grassroots that got her elected governor in 2010,” said Austin McCubbin, South Carolina State Director. “Welcome home to Trump Country, Nikki, where there has been an earthquake of political and grassroots support backing President Trump as we head into the final month of the ‘First In The South’ primary.”
