Summary

It will be an interesting election in South Carolina this Saturday, as voters choose whether to back former President Donald Trump or the former governor of the state, Nikki Haley. Though Haley calls South Carolina home, the majority of polls currently show that the former President is likely to take home a victory with flying colors — but could Haley supporters surprise us in her home state? To preview the primary, Bret explores the history of South Carolina's political landscape and speaks with South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick about what issues are top of mind for voters in this state and why many Americans remain undecided headed into the election.
