BAMBERG, S.C. (AP) — Nikki Haley made a campaign stop Tuesday in her hometown of Bamberg, a reliably Democratic rural town that she said has described as instrumental to the values that guide her presidential bid, as well as a place where she and her family experienced discrimination.
“It's always a great day in South Carolina when I can come home,” Haley said to a crowd of several dozen gathered at a downtown park.
Haley's hometown was her first stop as she barnstormed across the state in the closing days ahead of South Carolina's Feb. 24 primary, aiming to cut into Donald Trump's popularity in the state. The former president plans to hold a rally Wednesday in North Charleston; Haley, meanwhile, is heading to Texas later this week for fundraising and campaigning in the Super Tuesday state.
Later Tuesday in the coastal town of Bluffton, Haley delivered some of her sharpened critiques of Trump to a crowd of several hundred, enumerating Republicans' losses in elections since Trump won the 2016 contest and asking, “How many more times do we have to lose until we start to say, well, he’s the problem?"
