NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - The presidential campaign will swing through the CSRA next week.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is coming to North Augusta.

He’s expected to campaign at the Riverview Park Activities Center from 2-4 p.m. Thursday.

DeSantis is one of many candidates running for the Republican nomination in the next presidential election.

He already made one campaign visit to South Carolina a couple of weeks ago, starting his day in the Lowcountry and wrapping up in the Upstate.

And in between, he stopped in the Midlands for what his campaign described as a “fireside chat” in Lexington County.

On that visit, DeSantis touted what he views as conservative accomplishments of his istration in Florida – naming the age of permitless gun carry, expansion of universal school choice and private-school voucher programs, and, recently, enacting a six-week abortion ban.
