Donald Trump and Nikki Haley are both in South Carolina making their final pitches to voters there on the eve of the Republican presidential primary. Haley, the former governor of the state, warned voters about the importance of the upcoming primary and expressed doubts about Trump's ability to defeat President Biden in the general election.
Haley emphasized the significance of voter turnout in the primary, stating that the outcome would directly impact the party's chances in the general election. She urged voters to consider the broader implications of their choices and emphasized the need for a candidate who can secure victory in November.
Meanwhile, Trump addressed the crowd and for the first time commented on the Alabama IVF controversy, a topic that has been used by Democrats to criticize Republicans, including Trump. He expressed his full support for IVF treatments, highlighting the importance of making it easier for couples to have children.
Trump's stance on IVF contrasts with his more ambiguous position on abortion, a topic that is likely to be a key issue in the general election if he becomes the GOP nominee. Despite his efforts to avoid the abortion discussion, Trump has been credited with appointing three Supreme Court justices who played a role in the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The rally in South Carolina showcased strong support for Trump, with indications pointing to a significant victory for him in the state's primary. The event drew a large and enthusiastic crowd, underscoring the former president's continued popularity among Republican voters.
