Ramaswamy slated to headline South Carolina county GOP fundraiser in return to early voting state
Associated PressCOLUMBIA, S.C. — Biotech entrepreneur and Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy is slated to headline a GOP fundraiser in South Carolina as he returns to campaigning in the first-in-the-South primary state. Ramaswamy will be the featured speaker at the third annual Dorchester County GOP’s Faith, Family & Freedom Dinner, scheduled for Aug. 19 in Summerville at the Dorchester Shrine Club, county party Chair Steven Wright told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Ramaswamy has been stumping heavily in other early-voting states, including Iowa and New Hampshire, but hasn’t been back to South Carolina since May, when he spoke at the state Republican Party convention. Ramaswamy visited Dorchester County earlier this year for a Sweet Tea Stop town hall event, something Wright said he’s hoping to organize with others in the GOP field.
