former un ambassador and governor governor nikki haley ig to stay in the race regardless of today's outcome. fox news got a chance to speak with some south carolinians about who they voted for and why. >> i voted for donald trump today. he did a great job. they voted for nikki haley we need at candidate who can serve eight years . brexit if you vote for today? donald trump he knows how to get the job done and nobody else does regressive voted for nikki haley. the opportunity for either 80 80-year-old's is not produced in a good spot regrets outgoing senator lindsey graham will be joining us in just a moment on today's crucial primary. >> to begin with mark meredith alive in mount pleasant, south carolina mark how is the turn out where you are? judging by the crowd looks pretty good. >> jon, i've been amazed with the turnout has been like all day long. they've had more than a thousand people show up at this precinct alone the crowds keep on coming. whether or not it's a good thing for either candidate yet to be

seen. nikki haley's campaign is but a life time, money, resources into south carolina. delay campaign admits it's an uphill battle today it certainly is possible haley could lose her home state. we sat nikki haley in person this morning voting alongside with her elderly mother. giving a chance to cast your ballot we also know haley's a twice elected governor of the state of trying to push voters to think about november's general election but she said if republicans are going to have any chance at winning in a general many a fresh face of the top of the ch ticket and not for president trump. >> as long as you have a majority of americans saying please give us a choice, i am going to continue to fight i am not going anywhere i am going to make sure we give americans a choice. >> haley increasingly talking about electability she's been touting some holes which shows are leading against perez and abided by double digits in a hypothetical matchup. we spoke to some haley supporters today who say they simply like her direct pitch to

voters. >> just her passion and her love her people and for her country. and again as i'd said to the last people, her holding all of us accountable regardless of what party we vote for really hit home for me. recognizing we are all responsible for the things have ofgod on this world. >> supporters of former president trump have been encouraging haley to drop out of the race given the number of delegates and the math where things are send the haley campaigns is that simply ridiculous they looked at the delegates awarded so far in the first two states now today they still think there is a pathway to victory. however nikki haley's also come out from last 24 hours to make it clear she is not looking for any potential vice president salt nomination either she believes is the simply the ratio is in. she's also going to dismiss the talk about running as a unity candidate along with maybe a democrat so for nikki haley the focus is still on the republican nomination will get some clarity about where things stand later

today. john: a lot of people enthusiastic or giving out their free barbecue. [laughter] works thank appreciate it. >> if it was chick-fil-a sandwich is also just as long of a line. [laughter] all right there you go. sandra? lexmark, thank you. let's br pronounce outgoing senr lindsey graham a trump surrogate center, great to have you on the program today. [laughter] know we are all thinking about chick-fil-a. >> i am thinking about chick-fil-a. [laughter] good luck to trump. i'm going. [laughter] >> nikki haley's i was pulling out of the race. she is vowing to stay on through to super tuesday why do you think that is considering the polls? works there a lot of people around her making a ton of money if you been watching tv here every 30 seconds is a nikki haley ad. i think she believes she has a mission here. the people of her home state will speak tonight it will be a pretty loud resounding statement that they want trump i have got nothing gets nikki i like her a lot she is a wonderful family.

i am not looking at who can beat biden i think trump can for sure i'm looking at who can turn the world around and i think that's trump better than anybody. biden is an absolute disaster's commander-in-chief this poor girl that got killed in georgia because of illegal immigrants the world is on fire in so many places we stopped exporting natural gas we own which helps russia. i cannot wait until the biden nightmare is over and one thing i can tell you the day trump gets to be president the world is going to fall in place pretty quickly. >> immigration clearly a big issue, governor particular about what happened at the university of georgia on thursday nights. another big issue this is when the democrats pummeled republicans 22 was the abortion issue. roe v wade was a big issue of the dobbs decision in 2022. and now, by the way the white house is spinning this it looks like they're going to pummel you between here in november on the alabama supreme court ruling. listen to what was said yesterday. >> it is a devastating example

of the kind of chaos and confusion that has resulted of the overturning of roe v wade. >> they are going to pummel you between now and november again on this issue the alabama supreme court ruling was connected to roe v wade 2022 republicans did not have an answer for the democratic on abortion but how are you going to answer this? >> number one president trump gave a very good answer we are for keeping the clinics (drop me a correction of the alabama ruling by the state legislature in alabama the governor has come out we want to give the clinics) the joy of having a child is enhanced by these clinics. the reason they're talking about abortion as the is they can't tf anything else if they cannot's gear you about us they're going to lose. 80% of the people think that hundreds going the wrong direction this is not going to be a referendum over a fertility clinic it's going to do that to be about your safety look what happened in georgia. it's going to be about out-of-control border, high

inflation. so good luck with that. regardless of birth control, hilary clinton's trying to say were against birth control republicans are not. we don't keep these fertility clinics open we're going to talk about things that matter the most of the american people which is the future of their children, their own safety, their own prosperity. space accessible look over the former president is doing, not so much focusing on south carolina but looking forward to the general election. last night he spent some time appraising tim scott your republican colleague in the senate for endorsing him, listen. >> senator tim scott gave me his endorsement. he has been with the best people we've ever had evolved with that she is been to the dynamo park was better for me than he is for himself. [laughter] right? you know why? he is a good person i don't mind speaking about myself he doesn't like speaking about himself. he likes speaking about people he thanks can do a great job.

>> note tim scott is on the vp shortlist what can you tell us? is this the person? is this his running mate? >> there is some chemistry there have been around both of them he likes tim. tim isn't leaning into help president trump become president. tim is ready to be president thus the most important thing about vice president. i hope you'll pick timmy's got a lot of good choices but you cannot do any better than tim scott he is solid in every way from a conservative point of you who can help grow the party and is genuinely a nice man for the country would be in good hands of tim scott were the vice president. >> another question to senator this is about calls from trump supporters for nikki haley to drop out which would make for one of the longest general election campaigns in history. [laughter] a lease in an unencumbered year. if you look at 2016 known only to may 3 until ted cruz but dropped out and some people say donald trump was stronger for it

because about vigorous competition. 2020 did not have any competition lost the race. what's wrong with keeping the contest going? keeping him on his toes on letting the voters really decide who they were to see? works as an argument. i'm not telling nikki what she should do the voters of south carolina are going to say we prefer president trump stop because we don't like nikki it's just because he is the best person to beat biden and straighten out a very troubled world. in terms of how long it lasts i don't know that's up to her. the mathematically. if you lose your home state it's a pretty hard sell to other states there will come a day when it is over hope so get behind president trump, i believe she will. what worries me is the effort to destroy president trump personally, his business, his family spending $50 million in legal bills. all of these lawsuits are hurting his ability to campaign and run for president record since one of her points he

spends all day in court not on the campaign trail for. >> here's my answer to her we do not want to let they left it away with this. nikki is writing high now with that liberal media she got the nomination return on people like they did like john mccain. should be a puddle. whether you like trump or not what you're going to say it about him that has not been said? he's the most embedded guy in the history of vetting. [laughter] there is nothing you can say about him that is not already been said. he has been tested. i think these lawsuits are going to backfire. they are certainly backfiring in the republican primary lease liberal cities to destroy it trumpwill help comfort said ande in georgia this poor girl 22 years old was a murderer the suspect to confirm to be an illegal immigrant who originally crossed illegally to el paso,

texas in september of 2022 edmonton released he was released to kill this girl who went for a job but never return back. a friend calls half hour later after the police responded find her dead along the lake on campus there. this is a horrific horrific story. what do you tell people, americans who see this happening i'm feared fear this is coming somewhere near them? what is going to get worse before it gets better if we don't change policy. i went to the border a few weeks ago, i want to support ukraine but the number one problem we have as americans is a broken border letting criminals and drugs and terrorists into our country. we are being overwhelmed by illegal immigrants for these guys was in custody and released what you tell her family? what does present biden tell her family? we've been talking about this for two years. 8 million people come across the border illegally during the

biden presidency this young lady died for no good reason? she died because of failed policies? it's sort of a posterior example of a broken border and biden has allowed this country to be at risk unlike any time since i have been in politics. he has been a miserable commander-in-chief the bad guys are on the move all over the world. ukraine, europe is on fire, israel's under attack, china is on the prowl. 5 billion people could die from the number of fentanyl tablets coming across the border and now they show these policies seem to change and folks are never going to change until you lick somebody new. trump, on day one will fix this he will deport people by the hundreds of thousands. those who should not be in this country and day one. >> wondered biden's going to say anything about this question might want to be going a plan to go visit the family? works and wanted to go back to the border? he spent 15 minutes of the border so president biden, go to the border go to eagle pass,

texas where i was with tim scott and hear for yourself what is going on and what you've done to our country you need to pick up the phone and you need to call this family. >> center to get to spend time with you again for quick scope when it has not been cleaned up in the border patrol they are heroes are in the best they can they are overwhelmed. president biden has a band in the border patrol. >> center great to spend time with you fairplex thank you. >> go get that check for labor. >> live look now at polling site and surfside come succulent just south of myrtle beach which she didn't tell you that there is a chick flight right across the street from boxford nikki haley looking to strike a blow in her home state. how well does she need to do tonight? martha maccallum coming up on that progress really looking for to having her onset here plus president biden says the economy is better with him in charge but what do voters think about that? a south carolina business owner will join us with his take next.

i write, fox news democracy 24 nikki hadley looking for an upset waiting south your lightea type former president donald trump is there for a big lead right now. he is in a big lead for the race for the delegate 63 per donald trump 17 for haley. fifty are at stake today. alexander half is alive from breezy columbia, south carolina for us at this hour. she's outside the public location. how is the trump campaign feeling today, what are you hearing? >> they are feeling very, very confident they predict a double-digit win. as you mentioned the former president will be in the state later this evening as her matter-of-fact what's interesting is he is not spent a whole lot of time or money here in south carolina. but voters we have spoken to told us he really didn't need

too. both have consistently shown 26, 33% lead for former president trump that is his lead right there 26 -- 33% over nikki haley. the get out to vote rally about an hour north of columbia and rock hill yesterday and right now speaking that is in maryland he acknowledged the distance when he first got on stage but it is clear from remarks he made yesterday he had started looking beyond south carolina and nikki haley. >> and honestly we we're not vey worried about tomorrow. we want to aim it toward november 5 that is what we need, november 5. we've got to beat crooked joe biden. >> trump spoke at the black conservative galley here in columbia last night he's been doing a lot of traveling. he spoke for an hour and a half but seldom mentioning nikki haley and a all that we caught p with henry at mcmaster he has endorsed a tromp and cast his ballot this afternoon. he was asked about south carolina open a primary that

allows voters to choose which are primary they want to participate in. >> in recent years there have been suggestions there would be a large turnout from democrats that want to come in and cause mischief. but it never has materialized we will see if it materializes. >> as you pointed out last hour a new art segment former president trump has been highly critical of nikki haley for saying she welcomes voters today from any and all party affiliations. that would include democrats we will see if that materializes at all but that has been the law and south carolina one mcmaster said helped republicans cast their votes years ago what it used to be the other way around here in the state p for. >> all right alexander half thank you. >> like the overwhelming majority of americans including the vast majority of republicans, conservatives, christians and pro-life americans i strongly support the availability of ivf brain calling on the alabama

legislature to act quickly to find an immediate solution to preserve the availability of ivf in alabama. putting alabama on notice after a supreme court decision in that state that embryos have the same rights as children. the controversial ruling opening a new front on the abortion battle in an election year let's bring it alabama republican state senator tim nelson whose work on the ivf issue there. senator, it is great to talk to you. donald trump is calling on you and your colleagues and government to do something about the supreme court decision. you are spearheading legislation, what are you doing? exit is correct. i am not really worried about donald trump, joe biden or anybody else in getting more calls from families that are in the middle of a situation and we have got to do something to fix this. i think we are going to be able

to -- i understand this is a human life but is not viable insults implanted in the uterus it is about 500 cell mass that is five or six days of being in the lab that will be implanted in the uterus and then become viable life. so we have got to fix this and make sure ladies and families that need us are taken care of. >> senator lindsey graham from south carolina said earlier today doesn't of any babies that were ever born in a freezer but here's what south carolina governor presidential candidate nikki haley said about it. >> we always want fertility options to be available to parents as they are trying to have babies of their own. but we also want to make sure any decisions made with the embryos, it needs to be between the parents and the physician. >> senator, that is something you understand you are a doctor

by trader and anesthesiologist. >> that is correct for. >> he supreme court ruling as we understand it was fairly narrowly cast it would give the parents of these embryos the right to sue for wrongful death. it would not extend illegal provisions outside of that. however, at the same time places like the university of alabama are saying wait a second it's too much of a gray area here. we are getting out of the business for now until this is all sorted out. a lot of things are on hold the promise of life are a lot of parents hangs in the balance. exit is correct. the supreme court ruling is based on 1872 constitution statements. we are going to clarify there may be civil penalties about there should not be criminal penalties the is going to be acf god that happened like a generator going out or something

beyond control that causes the embryo to be destroyed and we do not think the standards of the industry or the fertility standards are followed those people should have criminal liability and only civil if it's malpractice or negligence in that situation. but to say they have the same rights as anybody else is kind of hard not placed in the uters they don't have a heart beat yet it has not even developed. i am as pro-life as they get, i understand that but we have to have common sense to make sure we do not destroy the people that want to have children and are unable to do and take away their hope or have the ability to have their dr. beat successful and develop whatever they need to have two to have a child and a family. these people at frankel have seven or eight embryos in a freezer. there has to be some sense of

reasonable but were going to do with this embryos once they have as many as they want successful but what are we going to do with those that remain? is it going to be child abandonment? is it going to be something criminal at those are destroyed because they don't want them and they do not want to share them with other families? we are going to figure this out there's real good legal minds working on it and i'm going to drop a bill next week. >> we will talk to you again next week about that because this is an issue that is suddenly exploded onto the scene. stay in close touch we will talk more about this in the future, appreciate it. >> click sounded like too any time. >> fox news alert u.s. has just shot down another ballistic missile fired from yemen it. this one headed straight toward a u.s. owned tanker. we are going to head live to the middle east in moments.

>> plus south carolina is a very fast-growing states. will those new voters have an outsized impact? wilitany touch screen with sanda and martha mccallum coming up next. >> demographic is speaking south colitis undergone seismic changes demographically and may be politically the people are moving to south carolina. she is not the governor there it's time to really focus on taking joe biden i biden-harrisf the whit use house. “before and after”. then, there's the 'after the after' — that boost you get when you look and feel your best. and that's why more men choose just for men®. nice to meet ya. my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years

results let's go back to that moment in time when you saw this was still trump, rubio and cruz at this point to battling it out trump 32.5% of the vote there in south carolina in 2016. we keep saying we look at the fox news voter analysis nikki haley was hoping for a different mix in new hampshire a in on the ground in iowa particularly when you look at those with a college degree. in iowa trump won that boat she was looking to dominate that boat speed trump wanted by two points in new hampshire it nikki haley didn did win by a large mn there so what do you expect to see tonight and where could she over performed quester. >> obviously it's her home state, great to be with you. and obviously it's an exciting day these are the first big three states we go to iowa, new hampshire and now south carolina tonight and often south carolina can be very decisive in these presidential races. this has been, as you point out a very clear trump dominated

first couple of states it certainly looks like it is leaning that way tonight but we will see what happens. people are voting right now it nikki haley voted moments ago she would have to do really well the first district it's divided into seven voting district in south carolina she would have to very well she would have to win charleston charleston obviously is a more sort of a metro center were college educated people then you get out into the second insists six districts to get a a bigger mix of evangelical voters rural voters and they should be areas where should be able to do well with some of the college educated voters that extend out beyond charleston the balance could get thrown off by whites and evangelical voters. we have seen a similar pattern in these first couple of states the interesting thing to me is watching nikki haley and what she decides to do after this. she is carved eight lane as the

alternative. she's going to have to wait in these places if she can't do it in her home state can shoot it anywhere else is the problem. the washington post, he has spent almost invincible. why trump is likely to dominate south carolina would talk about evangelical christians we talk about going back to iowa desantis could not even pull that off there. donald trump in iowa, 55% of the vote. these are considered evangelical christians identify as he's dominating in these fields i don't know south carolina will get a different this is to meet one of the most interesting characteristics here warriors f eight trump presidency. one of the most dominant features in 2016 by his own admission is not a particularly

religious person. heat delivery for them at a number of ways supreme court justices, with moving the capitol of israel to jerusalem. these were big things a lot of republicans had promised this group and they never delivered on it. they are feeling is we don't care if he spends a lot of time in church. he's giving us the things we want and that is important to us. we also see that power of incumbency because a lot of these voters look at donald trump as a president and now they have an opportunity to vote for him again and that's what we are seeing here but as we said we are watching a loved watching the video people going to the polls and had a very big. >> the lines are long out there but soon he 17000 votes are cast in nine days of early voting. you are getting big turn out will see what happens for. >> it's interesting back was after that the results are mile i went back to that quote about donald trump and said we know were not going to find someone just like us we hope to have someone who doesn't hate us. that is really interesting will sosuit the mixes tonight for nii

democrats agree. conservative republican steve garvey is the wrong choice for the senate. ...our republican opponent here on this stage has voted for donald trump twice. mr. garvey, you voted for him twice... as your own man, what is your decision? garvey is wrong for california. but garvey's surging in the polls. fox news says garvey would be a boost to republican control of the senate. stop garvey. adam schiff for senate. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.

>> major decision for south carolina voters today with a lot of big issues on their minds before casting their ballots. byron york's chief political correspondent for the washington examiner and fox news contributor he is here with us in the studio in columbia. associated press national politics reporter meg kennard joins us on remote good to see you. let's start with you you are the big trump rally in rock hill yesterday you said it wasn't quite full maybe 6000 people there. >> how do you think the voting is going to go today based on what we seek trump draw for rallies versus haley? >> you cannot draw a direct connection between the rally size about size. but when you go to a trump rally

and went to one in conway about 10 days ago and then rock hill the intensity, the voter intensity of the trump rallies with the haley events. you go to haley events they were all quite similar special because dickie haley is very scripted she tends to get the same pitch over and over again. you get a few hundred people and they support her. they like her. they are enthusiastic but it's all kind of polite you go to a trump rally it's kind of over-the-top because that connection he makes with voters is a little mysterious. >> is like going to a soccer match at manchester, manchester, england not new hampshire. what do you see how do you thins going to go? >> i would agree a lot with what byron said these are different kinds of environments. as to the more polite haley events with a couple hundred. i think it is important to remember to that a lot of these

voters, we look at nikki haley like she has a hometown and she is she lives here in south carolina she represented the state twice but she also has had to reintroduce herself to a lot of folks that moved into the states and she served as governor she left office at about eight years ago. and so a lot of these folks who are here, they know her, they are familiar with her but they are not in touch with the same kinds of arguments they have been hearing consistently from donald trump since he first ran back in 2016 campaign. that excitement for him to come back for a lot of them has just been building from then until now. >> got less than a minute left i want to go over this real quick. gavin newsom i will not play the sound, suggested nikki haley is the best surrogate possible for the democratic party because she's hanging in there and making things difficult for donald trump or do you think she hurts the party by staying in? >> all i know is a lot of things she has been saying on the stump we will sleep in ads against

donald trump if he becomes the nominee that is pretty clear. >> ted, 10 seconds for you? >> weird to caleigh talking about you sticking in it to give voters a choice she doesn't care about that argument for donald trump and hurting his campaign i would expect we will continue to hear the same thing or two. parts with that all we wait for is the results, thanks for joining us, sand or break works thank you for joining us on this special democracy 2024 edition of america reports. great to have you all today we will see you tonight. i'm sandra smith. >> and i'm john roberts at journal editorial report is coming up next. we will see you at 7:00 p.m. [toilet flushing] when dehydration gets real... ♪ hey! that's mine. i'll buy you a pony. advanced hydration isn't just for kids.
