Trump to rally in South Carolina on day before Democratic presidential primary
The day before South Carolina Democratic voters say who they want to take on President Donald Trump in November’s general election, the Republican incumbent will be in the Palmetto State.
President Donald Trump has scheduled a Keep America Great Rally for 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28, in North Charleston.
The visit comes as Democratic candidates for president will be campaigning in South Carolina ahead of Saturday’s presidential primary.
Trump was last in South Carolina for a criminal justice reform event at Benedict College in Columbia. Vice President Mike Pence visited the state last week.
“President Trump has delivered for South Carolina with an unemployment rate of 2.3 percent — tied for the lowest rate in the country,” said Michael Glassner, Chief Operating Officer for Trump’s campaign said in a news release. “President Trump looks forward to returning to the Palmetto State to celebrate his message of ‘Promises Made, Promises Kept.’ ”
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-Seneca, and a staunch Trump ally, tweeted about the president’s rally.
“We’re proud to welcome @realDonaldTrump to SC for a Keep America Great rally next Friday,” Graham tweeted. “After three years of tremendous economic growth, a strengthened military, and nearly 200 new judges, we aren’t tired of winning yet!”
The ticketed rally is scheduled to be held at the North Charleston Coliseum at 5001 Coliseum Drive.
