Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders to headline signature South Carolina GOP event
July 29, 2025
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is set to headline a major Republican event in South Carolina. Rep. Sheri Biggs announced Sanders as the featured speaker for her Salute to Liberty event on Aug. 18 in Anderson. This venue has historically been a platform for Republican White House hopefuls. Sanders, a potential 2028 presidential contender, has deep ties to South Carolina, where her father Mike Huckabee stumped for president in 2008 and 2016. She served as press secretary for President Donald Trump, who remains popular in the state. Biggs, who won her district last year, aims to create a new identity for the event while maintaining its significance for national-level Republicans.
