Former President Donald Trump, leading the Republican primary field in his 2024 comeback bid, will be the keynote speaker at an annual South Carolina GOP event. Trump's top speaking role reflects his dominance in a state long influential in deciding who becomes the party’s nominee.
Trump will be the featured speaker at the South Carolina Republican Party's 56th Annual Silver Elephant Gala. The 8:30 p.m. event on Saturday, Aug. 5, will take place at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds — 1200 Rosewood Dr., Columbia, South Carolina, 29201.South Carolina Republicans’ fealty to Trump isn’t particularly surprising, considering his hold on much of the party base nationally even after losing to President Joe Biden in 2020.
South Carolina Republicans have scheduled their presidential primary for Feb. 24, 2024 — a relatively late date that could force candidates to invest more time and money in the state while scrambling campaign strategies in the “first four” GOP contests. With Iowa and New Hampshire potentially holding votes in January and Nevada’s plans in flux, there could be a substantial gap in the calendar before South Carolina.
“Join us for an elegant evening @LaBelleWinnerNH! Our Politics & Prosecco Summer soiree will feature @NikkiHaley!” the New Hampshire Federal of Republican Women recently tweeted about the Aug. 7 event at 6:30 p.m.
