"The Republicans of Lexington County made it clear that they support President Trump in the First in the South Primary and wanted to make their voices heard," Lexington County GOP Chair Mark Weber said in a statement. In 2016, Trump won his primary bid in Lexington County by about 6 points over Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in a more crowded field. It's become a county to watch on primary nights — doubly so this time around, with its close ties to Haley. In addition to how Lexington County votes, here are some other things to watch on primary night:

Haley’s campaign leaned into those attacks Thursday, releasing T-shirts emblazoned with the words“Barred. “We need to unite around our eventual nominee, which is Donald Trump,” Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Tuesday on Fox News. In the final days before the GOP primary there, Trump paraded a series of South Carolina Republican officials onstage at his rallies, including Gov. Worst of all, no one returned my calls.”Fundraising dried up, and Haley’s campaign directed most of its funds to TV. “Any other person probably would have just quit and caved in there, but she knew that South Carolina needed her,” Ballentine said.

Political Cartoons View All 1176 ImagesAs a lawmaker and then governor, Haley supported some of the most restrictive abortion measures South Carolina's legislature could pass. Running against three men, Haley attacked what she called the “good ol' boys” dominating the state's politics. As governor, she signed the most conservative abortion bill South Carolina Republicans were able to pass through both chambers at the time. Majorities of Republican men (57%) and women (54%) support their state allowing legal abortions up to 6 weeks into the pregnancy. Republican men are slightly more likely than GOP women to say abortion should be legalized at 15 weeks (34% vs. 21%).
