Nikki Haley and Tim Scott target Christian conservatives in South Carolina.

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and Senator Tim Scott, both potential Republican candidates for the 2024 presidential election, attended a conservative forum in their home state. While they have largely avoided direct confrontation, they will likely be competing for the same voters. South Carolina is a key battleground state that fueled their political rise and will play a critical role in the Republican nomination. However, both will have to win over Republicans eager for a Trump alternative, as well as a portion of the former president’s hyper-conservative base.
