Why it matters locally: As a state with a significant Republican voter base, increased campaign activity from former President Trump could influence primary and general election dynamics for federal and state offices in South Carolina.

Former President Donald Trump has engaged in more campaign events for the 2026 midterm elections than he did during the same period in 2018. He traveled to Georgia on Wednesday as part of his current campaign schedule. Throughout the current election cycle, Trump has participated in rallies for twelve candidates competing in races considered toss-ups. This level of activity marks an increase when compared to his campaigning during the corresponding time frame leading up to the 2018 midterm elections.
