Some campaigns are focusing on South Carolina, where the GOP primary is a last chance for many White House hopefuls to break through before Super Tuesday.
Following a strong performance in the first Republican Presidential Debate, candidate Nikki Haley launches South Carolina swing and holds a town hall with Rep. Ralph Norman and South Carolina Rep. Mike Neese in Indian Land ,Lancaster County, South CaA microphone in hand, Sen. Tim Scott left the podium at a recent barbecue event in South Carolina and made his way through tables draped in red, white and blue as attendees finished plates of pulled pork and baked beans.
Both in the state and nationally, Trump is far ahead in the Republican field. Battling for a distant second place are the two home-state candidates — Scott and Haley — and DeSantis.

Haley, meanwhile, drew praise from Irene Gatton, a 78-year-old retired nurse, as "very down to earth" and "intelligent." He was followed by Casey DeSantis. From Florida — where he remained, in lieu of delivering the keynote address as had been planned, to help his state prepare for Hurricane Idalia — Ron DeSantis recorded a three-minute introduction video that got roars from the crowd. Casey DeSantis gave familiar one-liners about her children and raising a family in the Florida governor’s mansion.
"I know I wear a skirt," she said. "But y’all see me at work. If you say something that is totally off the wall, I’m going to call you out on it every single time."
