In a bid to rally support for his presidential campaign, Former President Donald Trump made a stop in Conway, SC, holding a rally at the HTC Center on the campus of Coastal Carolina University. Thousands of people gathered outside the arena before Trump took the stage, where he addressed his supporters and launched a scathing critique of President Joe Biden's policies.

Trump wasted no time in criticizing Biden's handling of the border situation, labeling it as "incompetent." He also took the opportunity to praise Governor Henry McMaster, who spoke earlier in the day, along with other prominent figures such as Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and U.S. Rep. Russell Fry.

The event at the HTC Center, which has a capacity of just over 3,000, marked Trump's first visit to the Grand Strand or Pee Dee since 2022. It came just two days before early voting in the South Carolina Republican Primary is set to begin, with the final day to vote being February 24th.

Coinciding with the Supreme Court hearing arguments on whether Trump should be removed from future ballots following the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol, the rally held significant political weight. Trump's presence in Conway aimed to mobilize his supporters and bolster Republican enthusiasm before the primary.

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, one of Trump's major opponents in the race for the Republican nomination, also joined the campaign fray on Saturday. Haley scheduled stops in Newberry and Lexington throughout the day, further highlighting South Carolina's importance in the political landscape.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden had recently emerged victorious in the South Carolina Democratic Primary last week and now looks ahead to the upcoming Democratic primary in Michigan on Tuesday, further intensifying the stakes for both parties.

The rally served as a platform for Trump to connect with his supporters and reignite the fervor surrounding his campaign. With early voting just around the corner, the race for the Republican nomination in South Carolina is heating up, and Trump's visit to Conway signifies his commitment to mobilize his base and secure a strong showing in the primary.
