10 GOP hopefuls in Greenville

Ten GOP presidential hopefuls will be trying to make their case Friday for the White House in Greenville.

You can follow The State’s coverage of Heritage Action’s “Take Back America” forum on thestate.com, where political reporter Andrew Shain will post live updates as the candidates — including the Top 5 front-runners, according to national polls — answer questions from S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley and Heritage Action leaders.

The event at Bon Secours Wellness Arena starts at 4 p.m. The candidates each will speak for about 20 minutes.

The forum’s lineup features: Retired Maryland neurosurgeon Ben Carson; former chief executive Carly Fiorina; former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida; U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida; Govs. Chris Christie of New Jersey, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Scott Walker of Wisconsin; and former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.

New York business mogul Donald Trump, who was also supposed to participate in the forum, canceled his appearance Friday.
