MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (AP) – Republican presidential candidate John Kasich spent time and money winning New Hampshire voters.
Now he’s in next-to-vote South Carolina with a short supply of both.
The Ohio governor finished second in New Hampshire’s primary, well behind celebrity businessman Donald Trump but well ahead of others. The results reflected Kasich’s singular focus on the state.
His task now is to introduce himself to voters in South Carolina and beyond.
He’ll have to do so in spite of having a cash disadvantage. Jeb Bush began the year with triple as much campaign money, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio four times as much.
Kasich, Bush and Rubio are seeking many of the same voters and donors.
