The Latest: Trump arrives late at SC rally after bad weather
WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump campaigning in South Carolina (all times local):
8:10 p.m.
President Donald Trump is opening a campaign rally for South Carolina's governor by joking about Air Force One being held up by the weather.
Trump arrived in West Columbia nearly an hour late for Monday's rally for Gov. Henry McMaster due to weather.
Air Force One circled for nearly an hour before it was cleared to land.
At the rally, Trump expressed relief, saying he wouldn't have had the "courage" otherwise to call McMaster to tell him he couldn't make it.
McMaster was the nation's first statewide elected official to endorse Trump in January 2016.
