In 2020, it was the voters of South Carolina who proved the pundits improper, breathed new life into our marketing campaign, and set us on the trail to successful the Presidency.
Now in 2024, the folks of South Carolina have spoken once more and I’ve little question that you’ve got set us on the trail to successful the Presidency once more — and making Donald Trump a loser — once more.
