Trump attends college football game in key early-voting state of South Carolina

Former President Donald Trump is set to attend a highly anticipated rivalry football game in South Carolina on Saturday as he campaigns in the key early-nominating state ahead of next year’s Republican presidential primary.

The Palmetto Bowl is an annual matchup between the University of South Carolina and Clemson University, the two largest universities in the state, and is taking place this year in the state capital of Columbia. South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, a USC alumnus who has endorsed Trump, recently said that the former president had a “standing invitation” to attend the game.
