As the South Carolina GOP primary approaches, residents of the state are carefully considering the choice between former Governor Nikki Haley and former President Donald Trump. With just 18 days left until the primary, the decision weighs heavily on the minds of voters.
For many South Carolinians, like Billy Pierce, who has lived in Hartsville for 70 years, the Trump presidency brought positive changes to their lives. Pierce highlights the absence of high inflation and interest rates during Trump's tenure, making his life better overall. While not a fan of Trump's toxic tone and excessive Twitter use, Pierce believes that the former president would have made a great leader if he had focused on governing rather than engaging in controversial rhetoric.
