Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson will visit Columbia Monday to register for the South Carolina GOP presidential primary in February, according to The State.
Carson, who places third among Republican contenders for president in South Carolina, visited both Brookland Baptist Church and Midlands Technical College on Sunday.
At Midlands, he gave a 35-minute speech, calling for a non-ideological method of policy-making, instead championing fact-based approaches. He touched on a wide variety of issues, including immigration policy, flat taxes and extreme political rhetoric.
Carson plans to hold a rally at the State House Monday afternoon, at 11:30 a.m.
