The Republican Party in South Carolina is weighing whether to cancel its presidential nominating contest in 2020 in an effort to protect President Trump from potential challengers.
Drew McKissick, the chairman of the South Carolina GOP, told the Washington Examiner that the party would do “what’s in the president’s best interest.”
