Trump is expected to unveil his 2024 campaign leadership team at the State House in Columbia, South Carolina. He will be joined on stage by several guests including Senator Lindsey Graham among others.
Both states, New Hampshire and South Carolina, are key to getting Trump’s 2024 aspirations out of the gate. While the former president won both primaries in 2016, the picture this time around may not be as tilted in his favor:
For the first time since he became a 2024 presidential candidate, Donald Trump plans Saturday to visit two of the three early states, where he’s expected to face frosty receptions from a few top Republicans.
Trump has added a stop in New Hampshire on Saturday morning before his rally that evening in South Carolina.
Trump will give the keynote address at the annual meeting of the New Hampshire GOP, whose chairman, Stephen Stepanek, praised Trump’s support for the state’s first-in-the-nation primary status.
From New Hampshire, Trump heads to South Carolina, where Gov. Henry McMaster will give him a warmer welcome and appear onstage with him at a rally that evening with Sen. Lindsey Graham and other top Republicans from the state’s congressional delegation.
Sen. Tim Scott, however, isn’t expected to attend. He is weighing his own presidential bid along with former Gov. Nikki Haley, a Trump-appointed ambassador who fell out of favor with him after she criticized him for inciting the mob that sacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
As we reported, Nikki Haley is seriously considering a presidential run and Sen. Tim Scott is also rumored to be weighing his options. Both Haley and Scott call South Carolina their home and would give Trump a challenge in the state, though neither one is winning any meaningful polling support.
