Pence schedules yet another spring trip to South Carolina

Associated Press  

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Former Vice President Mike Pence is making yet another visit to South Carolina, giving the commencement address at a Christian university in the early-voting state where Republican candidates often aim to drum up support among white evangelical voters. In a piece posted to CIU’s website after Smith attended a 2018 “Faith Leaders Dinner” hosted by Pence, the educator called him “a man of deep faith who will give all to fight for traditional family values.” On Friday, Smith told The Associated Press that he asked Pence not to give a political speech but to “come and share ideas about how his life has been shaped by his faith.” Pence has been ramping up his visits to South Carolina, which holds the first presidential primaries in the South. Nearly a year ago, Pence chose the fundraiser of another conservative Christian nonprofit in South Carolina for his first public address since the end of the Trump administration. Last week, Pence directly rebutted Trump’s false claims that as vice president he somehow could have overturned the results of the 2020 election, saying the former president was simply “wrong.” ___ Meg Kinnard can be reached at http://twitter.com/MegKinnardAP.
