In a bid to exert dominance in rival Nikki Haley's home state, former President Donald Trump made his first visit to South Carolina this year, speaking at Coastal Carolina University. Trump's team is confident about his standing in the state, as reflected in consistent poll numbers showing him with a significant lead over Haley. With just two weeks to go until the primary, the former governor has vowed to stay in the race.
During his speech, Trump wasted no time in attacking his potential Democratic opponent, Joe Biden. He criticized Biden's handling of the southern border and highlighted his role in sinking a bipartisan deal in Congress aimed at addressing border-related issues. Trump also seized the opportunity to draw attention to the special counsel Robert Herz's report on Biden's handling of classified documents. Trump argued that this was evidence of a two-tiered justice system and claimed that he was a victim of political persecution.
