The political arena turns to South Carolina for 2024

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — The political arena turns on South Carolina for 2024, with two familiar names from South Carolina potentially running for president, and more Palmettos. Several changes have been proposed that may attract the attention of

Rep. Russell Fry (R-South Carolina) said:

President Joe Biden (Democrat) wants South Carolina to lead the Democratic primary. Former President Donald Trump has announced South Carolina as his first public campaign site. Senator Tim Scott (Republican-South Carolina) and former Governor Nikki Haley (Republican) are also seen as likely candidates for president.

“Similarly, you’re going to see a fairly crowded Republican field,” Frye said.

“When you consider running for president, you look at two things,” Haley said in an interview with Fox News. The second question is, ‘Am I capable of being that leader?'”

Haley said in an interview that she never lost a race.

“I’m not going to lose now,” Haley said.

David White, a professor of political science at Francis Marion University, believes Haley will run for president. I said it was primary status.

White said being No. 1 in the Democratic primary means more media coverage. He said Trump’s planned visit to Columbia later this month was a message to potential candidates in South Carolina.

“He’s in South Carolina, where both Tim Scott and Nikki Haley are often mentioned, to let people know that ‘I’m on this too,'” White said. “Governor. Both McMaster (Republican) and Senator Graham (Republican-South Carolina) are expected to attend.”

Fry, who has endorsed Trump and won his endorsement, said he would attend Trump’s events as well.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) will not be attending the event at the State Capitol on January 28.
