Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is facing former President Donald Trump in the race for the Republican nomination for president. The GOP winner needs more than half of the 2,429 delegates at stake nationwide. After the nominating contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, Trump leads 58-17.

The SC GOP primary is Feb. 24 and both campaigns are expected to make multiple stops around the Palmetto State before the vote. There are 50 delegates available (29 statewide, 21 by congressional district) in a winner-take all for each category format.

“We have done it in South Carolina. We can do it in South Carolina again,” Haley said at a recent stop in Columbia. “But what it’s going to take is for everybody to go and find every one of your friends and family members, and you know who they are, who only vote in general elections. They don’t typically vote. If you vote in a general election, you’re given a choice. You vote a primary you make that choice.”
