COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is set to keynote the signature fundraiser for the Republican Party in South Carolina. State GOP Chairman Drew McKissick tells The Associated Press that Pompeo will speak at the Silver Elephant Dinner on July 30. As home to the first southern presidential primary, South Carolina is a crucial destination for potential White House hopefuls of both major parties. Pompeo has been making the rounds in some of the other states with early presidential voting contests, like Iowa and New Hampshire. He’s also launched a political action committee to help 2022 candidates.
