South Carolina Republicans vote to skip 2020 primaries (ASL – 9.8.19)

Transcript

The South Carolina GOP executive committee voted Saturday to skip the presidential primary in 2020.

The move leaves an open path for President Trump to win all of South Carolina’s delegates without competition.

It reflects Trump’s strong support within the Republican party and among its voters as he heads into his reelection campaign.

Even though some Republicans have announced their running or are considering a challenge.

The South Carolina Republican Party chairman said the move will save state taxpayers more than $1.2 million.

Republican Party leaders in other states have expressed support for skipping their presidential primaries and are expected to make it official during the coming weeks.

Former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh, who has announced that he will challenge Trump next year, is taking issue with South Carolina’s move.

He said he and others are going to fight South Carolina over it and any other state that considers such a move.

He said they will take legal action if necessary.
