MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (AP) — Donald Trump is surrounding himself with leaders from Nikki Haley 's home state in a show of strength ahead of Tuesday's New Hampshire primary.
Trump, according to his campaign, will be joined at a rally at the NHU Arena in Manchester Saturday night by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, the state's lieutenant governor and a slew of other senior officials, including the state's attorney general, treasurer and House speaker.
The appearances are yet another blow from South Carolina against Haley, who is hoping her appeal among independent and unaffiliated voters will propel her to a strong enough finish in New Hampshire to turn the race into a two-person contest against Trump.
It comes a day after Trump received the endorsement of South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, who joined him at a rally in Concord.
That he was talking about something else, that he was talking about Nancy Pelosi," Haley said.
