President Trump spent a full day on the road Saturday, traveling to give speeches in New Hampshire and South Carolina for his 2024 presidential campaign.
Trump finished the day with a retail politics stop at the iconic Zesto of West Columbia restaurant in South Carolina where he was well received and even prayed over.
Dan Scavino posted a video showing some of the visit.

Trump spoke about potential GOP rivals to reporters on Trump Force One on the flight from New Hampshire to South Carolina, reported CNN’s Kristen Holmes:
Former President Trump told reporters that Nikki Haley called him in recent days to inform him she would like to consider launching a 2024 presidential bid.
“I talked to her for a little while, I said look, you know, go by your heart if you want to run,” Trump said he told her.— Kristen Holmes (@KristenhCNN) January 28, 2023
Former President Trump took aim at FL Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Covid-19 record, saying he and his team were “trying to rewrite history”
“There are Republican governors that did not close their states," Trump told reporters en route to SC. “Florida was closed for a long period of time."— Kristen Holmes (@KristenhCNN) January 28, 2023
And on embattled freshman Rep. George Santos (R-NY):
Trump weighed in on embattled Rep. George Santos saying he has “told some whoppers.”
“I think it’s a terrible situation. It’s very unfortunate. He’s told some whoppers,” Trump told reporters of Santos aboard his plane in between campaign stops in New Hampshire & South Carolina— Kristen Holmes (@KristenhCNN) January 28, 2023
A lot of Americans are praying for President Trump.
