With the South Carolina Republican presidential primary on Saturday, candidates have been making their way throughout the state over the last week. Marco Rubio, above, was in Easley for a town hall meeting on Sunday, just days after frontrunner Donald Trump, right, visited Clemson’s T. Ed Garrison Arena. Rubio and Trump will be joined on the ballot for Saturday’s GOP primary by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Dr. Ben Carson, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. Other candidates who have already dropped out of the race will also appear on the ballot. Polls will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturday, and the S.C. Democratic primary will be held one week later.
