At the rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, Trump was joined on stage by a core group of supporters including Gov. Henry McMaster (R-SC), Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette (R-SC), Attorney General Alan Wilson, South Carolina House Speaker Murrell Smith, state Treasurer Curtis Loftis, and Reps. Russell Fry (R-SC), Joe Wilson (R-SC), and William Timmons (R-SC).

Gov. McMaster emphasized the overwhelming support for Trump in South Carolina, stating, “Our two U.S. senators and the vast majority of the people of South Carolina want Donald Trump.”
Lt. Gov. Evette highlighted the uniqueness of Trump’s policies, stating, “But when this man was born, God broke the mold. And you cannot have President Trump policies without President Trump.”
Haley frequently criticizes Trump for the chaos she believes follows him, but the GOP base has made it clear that he remains their favorite. Meanwhile, DeSantis, another primary candidate, has tried to emulate Trump’s persona without the drama, but his poll numbers have only decreased while Trump’s have risen.
The South Carolina delegation’s support for Trump comes after Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) endorsed him at a rally in Concord, New Hampshire. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has also long embraced Trump’s campaign.
During the rally, Rep. Fry asked the crowd a simple question to humiliate Haley: “Is this Nikki Haley country?” The crowd responded with a resounding “No” before booing Haley. Fry then asked, “Or is this Donald Trump country?” to which the crowd roared back with a “Yes.”
Speaker Smith, who served with Haley in the General Assembly, expressed his support for Trump, stating, “I, as well as a majority of my colleagues and the leadership of the South Carolina House representatives and members, are supporting Donald Trump.”
Trump hopes to replicate his success in the New Hampshire primary after a dominant win in the Iowa caucuses. According to polls, he currently leads Haley by nearly 16 percentage points in New Hampshire and by 30 percentage points in South Carolina.
Haley has stated that a second-place finish in New Hampshire will not end her campaign, and she plans to continue through the South Carolina primary on February 24th.
During the rally, Trump criticized Haley for her ties to a left-wing dark money group and questioned her conservative credentials. Haley, in turn, questioned Trump’s mental fitness, to which he responded, “Well, I don’t mind being 80, but I’m 77. That’s a big difference.”
Overall, Trump is determined to push both Haley and DeSantis out of the primary race and secure his position as the Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election.
