When Nikki Haley ran for governor of South Carolina in 2010, one of her early campaign stops was the Aiken, S.C., living room of Claude and Sunny O’Donovan.
“We fell in love with her,” Mr. O’Donovan, 85, said.
“She was a dynamite gal.”A digital picture frame in the O’Donovans’ home still displays a photograph of Ms. Haley at the meeting.
But on Feb. 24, when Ms. Haley faces Donald J. Trump in South Carolina’s Republican presidential primary, both of the O’Donovans plan to vote for Mr. Trump.
“I think he has the values of the Tea Party,” Mrs. O’Donovan, 84, said.
