DeSantis to file for South Carolina presidential primary next week
Fox News
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will become the first Republican to file his candidacy for South Carolina's Republican presidential primary during a visit to the Palmetto State next week.
DeSantis will make his candidacy official during his third campaign swing through South Carolina, where Republican hopefuls have been stumping for more than a year. On Monday, he is expected to stop in Tega Cay, an affluent community on Lake Wylie along the state line with North Carolina. Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News.

After he signs his candidacy paperwork, DeSantis plans to make a policy rollout in Columbia, the details of which the campaign did not immediately release. It will be DeSantis’ second policy announcement, following his immigration proposals — which call for ending birthright citizenship and finishing construction of the southern border wall — outlined during a June visit to a Texas border city.
