Where can you watch?
If you are unable to get tickets for the rally, you can watch a live stream of President Trump’s event at the North Charleston Coliseum on our website, wbtw.com, by clicking or tapping here. We will turn on that stream when the event begins at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
We will also stream the President’s arrival in Charleston and his departure.
Both supporters and protestors are expected to appear outside the Coliseum.
President Trump will not appear on ballots during South Carolina’s presidential primary after state Republican Party officials decided not to hold a Republican primary last year.
Voters will head to the polls to vote for their candidate of choice in the Democratic primary on the following day.
Road closures and delays
The Charleston International Airport is also alerting drivers who may be headed to the airport on Friday afternoon should be mindful of the President’s visit which will cause road closures and flight delays.
Travelers should allow extra time to get to the airport. Use Dorchester Rd to Michaux Parkway as a primary route to the airport during the visit and be sure to check in with individual airlines for any departure or arrival changes.
