Fans of the South Carolina Gamecocks and Clemson Tigers may be thinking primarily about the action on the field Saturday evening at Williams-Brice Stadium.
But the Never Back Down super PAC is calling attention to action in the 2024 campaign, with a new spot serving as a Donald Trump blooper reel. Per Outkick, which was first to see the spot, the Ron DeSantis supportive political committee is geofencing the Gamecocks' home stadium in Columbia with the "Trump's fumbles" ad.
The spot juxtaposes Trump misidentifying a city in Iowa, confusing Jeb Bush and George W. Bush, and not immediately bashing transgender people when asked if a man can become a woman, with sound of a football announcer calling potential turnovers.
The new ad comes as DeSantis struggles in the state.
A recent Winthrop University survey of 626 registered Republicans shows Ron DeSantis at 12%, a distant third place behind Donald Trump (52%) and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (17%).
A CNN survey of 738 likely Republican voters conducted from Oct. 18 through Oct. 25 showed him with 11% support.
DeSantis has said he's a "great candidate" for South Carolina and has suggested that despite still being Governor of a different state, he may sign a sublease in South Carolina to make the sale to the state's Republicans. Polling suggests that he may not want to rush to consult a real estate agent in the Palmetto State, though.
