A fan said he supports Trump because of his strong faith in God, adding that "He sees people as people they are. He doesn't see you as a Latino or Black or white. He sees you as an American."
"Today, President Donald J. Trump expanded his South Carolina leadership team to over 80 current and former Republican officials endorsing his campaign, including some who previously supported Senator Tim Scott," a Trump campaign statement read. "President Trump has the most endorsements of any candidate running for president, including South Carolina legislators, than all opposing candidates combined."
The endorsements include State Reps. Bruce Bannister, Jeff Johnson, Weston Newton, Brandon Cox, Mark Smith, and State Senator Ronnie Cromer.
According to a recent Winthrop poll, 52 percent of South Carolina voters support Trump's candidacy, while the state's former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-S.C.) only secured 17 percent support.
