ROCK HILL, United States: Donald Trump rallied supporters in South Carolina on Friday ahead of the Republican primary, hoping to deliver another blow to his home state rival Nikki Haley.

“Tomorrow, you will cast the most important vote of your life,” the former president and current 2024 front-runner told supporters in a speech in Rock Hill.

Haley lost to Trump in the first four races for the Republican nomination in the November general election. Despite being a popular governor in the southeastern part of the state, polls show him around 30 points ahead of Saturday’s vote.

Ahead of the vote, 77-year-old President Trump assured supporters that he’s “not that worried, to be honest with you.”

Voting opens at 7:00 AM (12:00 GMT) and closes 12 hours later.

Haley, a traditional conservative, has urged voters to avoid “chaos” after the former president, but polls so far have shown him in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and the US Virgin Islands. voters

The 52-year-old also called for “a new generation of leaders to focus on future solutions instead of all the problems of the past.”

But with no serious Democrat running against the current president, Trump is now eyeing a reunion with Joe Biden.

“We’re going to win this state and then we’re going to tell crooked Joe Biden, ‘You’re fired,'” Trump added.
