On Tuesday, Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott electrified a New Hampshire audience with a few words about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley.
The moment featured former President Donald Trump celebrating his victory in the Granite State's Republican primary, and Scott Haley, who served as governor of South Carolina and appointed Scott to the U.S. Senate to fill a vacancy in 2012. This came when he said, “I'm sure he hates him with all his heart.''
“We're going to South Carolina, where we did really well and I did well. We have a great governor and lieutenant governor. Almost all of them gave me It's all great because they supported us. Two great senators, but this is difficult.'' I mean, Tim, did you ever think she would actually appoint you? ” Trump said as Scott stood behind him on stage.
