ICYMI: President Trump’s State of the Union address was a winner — and his administration has been one, too

President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda has ushered in a Great American Comeback— and here are just some of his achievements: Our economy is on fire, and it is only continuing to roar: we’re talking 7.3 million jobs created and a 50-year low unemployment rate since the 2016 election (including a historically low 2.3% unemployment rate in South Carolina). The United States is a leader on the world stage with our trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, as well as the new trade deal with China.

SCGOP statement on the vindication of President Trump

Columbia, SC.—South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick released the below statement following the U.S. Senate vote to acquit President Trump: “From day one this has been a sham impeachment effort driven by the Democrats desire to overturn the results of the 2016 election and to try to win through impeachment what they couldn’t win at the ballot box. They failed, and now it is time to move forward and continue to fight for an agenda that prioritizes strong economic growth, conservative principles, and putting America First. “In 2016, President Trump ran on a strong agenda, this time he is running

ICYMI: The State: Democrat vying to unseat Republican Joe Wilson would have voted to impeach Trump

We wanted to highlight an article from The State, which confirms what we all knew, that Adair Boroughs would have voted with Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez, Nancy Pelosi, and Joe Cunningham to impeach President Trump in the U.S. House of Representatives sham witch hunt. It’s becoming clear that Adair Boroughs is just another partisan Democrat that won’t fight for South Carolina families. The voters of SC-02 overwhelmingly support President Trump and Rep. Wilson and will vote to re-elect both this November. In case you missed it… Democrat vying to unseat Republican Joe Wilson would have voted to impeach Trump The State

ICYMI: Rep. Jeff Duncan: Democrat-led impeachment trial ‘will cause irreparable harm to our country’

We wanted to flag a recent op-ed written by Rep. Jeff Duncan, which warns that the Democrat-led impeachment witch hunt would cause “irreparable harm to our country.” It’s clear that this impeachment sham was rigged from the beginning against President Trump and as Rep. Duncan states in his op-ed, “history will not be kind to the Democrats of the 116th Congress” – we certainly concur with that analysis.

Hollywood Elites for Harrison

In case you missed it, yet another Hollywood elite has weighed in on the South Carolina Senate race, and surprise, it is to support Hollywood’s favorite candidate, former D.C. lobbyist, Jaime Harrison. Alyssa Milano, a Hollywood actress and California resident took to Twitter this morning to ask her followers to donate to Jaime Harrison and to help him defeat Senator Graham. It’s clear that liberal elites outside of South Carolina will continue to try and buy this Senate seat, but with Senator Graham’s strong grassroots support and record-breaking fundraising, their efforts will ultimately be futile. “Once again, Hollywood leftists are

ICYMI: Post and Courier: US-China trade deal good news for SC exporters; rule changes will be better

“It’s probably worse than a hurricane”- Joe Cunningham

Hugo, Matthew, Floyd… are all names of real hurricanes that hit South Carolina and destroyed lives, livelihoods, and homes- but Rep. Joe Cunningham believes that the real danger to the Lowcountry comes from the potential lack of European wine. That’s right, Cunningham recently stated that “it’s probably worse than a hurricane,” when discussing tariffs that were put on European wine. Rep. Cunningham should go talk to those who have seen the lasting and devastating impacts that hurricanes have had on our state before casually comparing it to economic policies. We realize that Rep. Cunningham is somewhat new to South Carolina
