CHARLESTON, S.C. - After a huge week in the Lone Star State, Nikki Haley is back on the trail in South Carolina with the Beast of the Southeast. While Donald Trump hawked overpriced sneakers to pay his legal bills, Haley met with voters and shared her vision for a strong and proud America. She had a packed rally on Johns Island and capped off the day with an enthusiastic crowd in Irmo.
