Former President Donald Trump is planning to hold the first public campaign event of his 2024 White House bid in the early-voting state of South Carolina.
Campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told The Associated Press on Thursday that Trump will visit the capital of Columbia later this month.
Advisers say it won’t be a rally but rather a more “intimate” event.
Since announcing his latest presidential run in November, Trump has limited his public campaign appearances to events at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida before an invited crowd or in a virtual setting.
The South Carolina visit, first reported by Politico, comes as Trump’s campaign has faced criticism, even among some longtime allies, for its low profile since the announcement.

Headline sounds dirty!
Stormy Daniels is again on the march?
Watch out for the inverted pineapples!!
I’m afraid the Donald jumped the shark with his superhero trading cards….
Sounds like his security has heard about an assassination plot.
Trump is finished, no one cares, they’ve moved on to the best politician in US History...... DeSantis. (Sarcasm)
Are he and Melania getting a hotel room?
Swingers?...
Luckily he made up for it that night by having a party for faggots at his house.
Let me be the first to Pre-empt the media. They will deem this intimate event proof that Trump has fallen from popularity and is actually universally hated now. Of course that’s up until 125 million people stand in line all over America to cast their votes for him in a Red Wave even the Democrats can’t fathom. I won’t have my most sacred right, the right to vote stolen again.
Grab em by the…??
Bow-chica-wow-wow!
I hope Trump doesn’t feel obligated to a low profile based on the threats by The Islamic Republic of Iran.
If Linda Grahamnesty shows up and Trump supports him the candidacy for the Presidency is in troubled waters. To this day knowing that this POS senator couldn’t muster past 1% in that primary was one of the modern day of ‘best of’ in politics.
I’ve been hoping PDJT would get a Trump Mobile a la the Pope, especially to protect him during his MEGA MAGA rallies.
God bless and watch over the GOAT POTUS!!!
Nope.
Hope Hicks.
Trump 1 has been refurbished and is ready to go.
In today’s political environment, having FU money is still beneficial for both the candidate and the Country.
That’s the suggestion of the headline.
