Recently crowned serial candidate sues the party he is trying to get on the ballot for using an attorney who, by the way, is leadership in the opposite party —which the rule was created to keep from influencing those same primaries.

[Joseph Bustos 🔥 @JoeBReporter]

Danny Ford II, who filed to run for the SC GOP Primary for the US Senate, but was not certified because he didnt meet the party's rules on voting in enough recent primaries, is suing the party to get on the ballot.

Ford's attorney is state Sen. Brad Hutto, an Orangeburg Democrat

As some farmers face struggles, the Tuesday runoff that will likely pick SC's first new ag. commissioner in 2 decades has been colored by big names known for something other than farming — President Donald Trump and former Clemson FB coach Danny Ford.

If Junior won’t show up for an election, what makes you think he’ll show up for the people who are considering electing him?

[Cody Simpson @CodyForSC]

There is so much at stake - for our farmers, our families, and our future - in the June 23rd runoff! And, there is a stark contrast for South Carolina Republicans to choose from.

While I have supported President @realDonaldTrump since Day One, Danny Lee Ford Jr (not his ball coach dad) has never – not one time – voted for President Trump.

Ford didn't vote for President Trump – or any Republican for that matter – in the 2016 and 2024 primaries. And, in the most important elections of our lifetime – the presidential
elections of 2016, 2020 and 2024 – Ford didn't vote for President Trump then either.

I have always stood with President Trump and have been a conservative all my life. As a fifth-generation farmer, agriculture is a way of life – not something I learned in a textbook.

Today, our farmers, families and South Carolina’s future need a consistent, conservative leader as Commissioner of Agriculture, not someone who sits on the sidelines until it serves them. 🇺🇸 #SCFirst

@VetsParkSC You’re dead on. I’ve seen it not just in my home precinct, but in every corner of the state.

In my experience you could replace “voting” with just about any other errand that takes <5 mins and you would be correct in South Carolina.

[Cody Simpson @CodyForSC]

It's Primary Election Day, South Carolina! 🇺🇸

Across the state, our grassroots army of volunteers are out waving signs, greeting voters, and helping spread the message.

If you haven't voted yet, there's still plenty of time. Polls are open until 7:00 PM. Make your voice heard and be a part of this historic election. GET OUT AND VOTE!

Let's finish strong, South Carolina! 🇺🇸🚜

Anddddd Simpson gets another Trump bump in Truth Social

[Cody Simpson @CodyForSC]

The most important lessons I have ever learned did not come from a classroom, a boardroom, or a government office. They came from the fields of Clarendon County.

As a fifth-generation South Carolina farmer, I was raised on our family’s Century Farm, where I learned from my father and grandfather the values that define agriculture: faith, hard work, stewardship, personal responsibility and perseverance.

Please take a few minutes to ready how those lessons shaped who I am and have uniquely prepared me to serve South Carolina as its next Commissioner of Agriculture in this editorial published by My Horry News:
