Nikki Haley continues South Carolina campaign with Myrtle Beach stop

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Nikki Haley continued her campaign trail on Thursday, making stops in Georgetown and Myrtle Beach just two days ahead of South Carolina’s Republican primary.

Haley’s “Beast of the Southeast Bus Tour” pulled into The George Hotel in Georgetown at 3 p.m. and then stopped by 44 & King in Myrtle Beach at 6 p.m.

In her stop at 44 & King Haley reflected on her time as Governor, highlighted her successes, and spoke on ways she would change the direction of the country as president.

Haley spoke on cutting taxes on the middle class, bringing aid to Veterans who have served the country, enhancing the education system, and making sure the younger generation has access to affordable housing and can attain the “American Dream” as previous generations have.

Haley made stops in Greenville and Clemson on Tuesday, vowing to stay in the race despite polls showing her being a heavy underdog to former President Donald Trump.

The 44 & King restaurant is owned by Myrtle Beach Mayor Brenda Bethune’s husband, Brown. The mayor has been among Haley’s most avid surrogates, donating more than $33,000 either directly to her campaign or through pro-Haley PACs, according to Federal Election Commission data.

Haley has two more South Carolina stops before Saturday’s primary, heading Friday to Moncks Corner at 2 p.m. and Mount Pleasant at 6 p.m.
