Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders to Headline Salute to Liberty in South Carolina
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is set to be the featured speaker at the upcoming Salute to Liberty event on August 18 in Anderson, South Carolina. This annual gathering is traditionally one of the largest for Republicans in the state, which plays a crucial role in the GOP presidential nomination process.
Representing South Carolina’s 3rd District, Rep. Sheri Biggs expressed her support for Sanders, stating that the governor embodies the values of the constituents, who prioritize hard work, faith, and family. "She represents what the people in the 3rd District believe in," Biggs remarked.
The event is expected to draw around 2,000 party activists, providing Sanders a platform to bolster her profile among grassroots supporters. Her connections in South Carolina run deep, as she has traveled to the state frequently, especially since her father, Mike Huckabee, campaigned for the 2008 GOP nomination.
Sanders’s ties to the Trump administration—where she served as press secretary—could also resonate with attendees, as Trump remains a popular figure among South Carolina Republicans. In addition to her upcoming appearance in South Carolina, Sanders has been active in early voting states, including a recent speech at the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa, emphasizing her potential as a contender for the GOP nomination in 2028.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, Sanders’s presence at the Salute to Liberty signifies her commitment to engaging with the Republican base that remains critical for any presidential aspirations she may pursue.
