| True Believing MAGA-ites in Pickens, South Carolina |
The chance to see former President Donald Trump in person drew thousands from across the Southeast to Pickens, South Carolina for Saturday’s rally, with attendees beginning to line up the night before and coming from as far as Florida.
Pickens, a town of 3300 in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, noted for Appalachian Day and the Fire Department's Annual Splash & Play, is fervently MAGA country.

Greg Pressley and his wife, Robin, said they drove more than three hours from their home in eastern Tennessee to see the candidate they’ve supported since his first run in 2016.
“Donald Trump’s the best president in history,” Greg Pressley said.
“I love his policies. I love the man. I’m here to support him getting back to where he needs to be to begin with.”
Shelley Fox of Spartanburg, who said she has supported Trump since he entered the 2016 race, said she didn’t feel it necessary to even think about any other candidates for next year’s election.
“I’d write him in,” she said, when asked what she would do if forced to consider another hopeful.
“No question; I’d write him in.”
