President Trump’s campaign announced 30 additional endorsements from South Carolina Republicans.

“Today, President Donald J. Trump expanded his South Carolina Leadership Team to over 80 current and former Republican officials endorsing his campaign, including some who previously supported Senator Tim Scott. President Trump has the most endorsements of any candidate running for President, including more South Carolina legislators than all opposing candidates combined. Today’s announcement is in addition to the more than 250 grassroots leaders who endorsed President Trump in South Carolina in June,” a press release from Trump’s campaign team read.

“South Carolina saw its best years under President Trump and the McMaster-Evette Administration,” said State Senator and Senate Banking and Insurance Committee Chairman Ronnie Cromer.

“Tim Scott is a dear friend, and now that he is out of the race, I strongly urge South Carolina’s voters to join me in rallying behind President Trump,” he added.

“After supporting South Carolina’s own beloved Senator Tim Scott, I am excited today to wholeheartedly endorse President Trump as the best candidate to defeat Joe Biden in 2024,” said State Representative and House Ways & Means Chairman Bruce Bannister.

“He is a proven leader who will turn around the economy, protect our border and make America energy independent once again,” he added.

The press release read:

The latest endorsements include the following legislators who previously endorsed U.S. Senator Tim Scott:

State Senator Ronnie Cromer, Chairman, Banking and Insurance Committee

State Representative Bruce Bannister, Chairman, Ways and Means Committee

State Representative Jeff Johnson, Chairman, Legislative Oversight Committee

State Representative Weston Newton, Chairman, Judiciary Committee

State Representative Brandon Cox

State Representative Mark Smith

The Post Millennial noted:

The latest endorsement comes as the former president holds a commanding lead in the GOP primary. A recent Harvard/Harris poll shows him at 67 percent of national GOP primary voters, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 8 percent and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley at 8 percent.

South Carolina will host its primary on February 24, 2024, just after Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. Trump is expected to attend a college a college football game Saturday between Nikki Haley’s alma mater Clemson University and the University of South Carolina.

President Trump upstaged Nikki Haley in South Carolina as the crowd at the South Carolina-Clemson game went wild.
