Today we started with a seminar over breakfast to discuss our day. All the cohorts were attending the Fox News Town Hall with Nikki Haley to watch her answer some questions moderated by News Anchor John Roberts. It was really interesting to get to see the behind the scenes filming of one of a candidate on the air because usually when I watch it on the TV it has already been cut and edited. So we got to see it in real-time. They even had to start over in the beginning due to a microphone issue! Nikki Haley answered each question with a strong demeanor and ensured the guest felt heard which I thought was a personable aspect of her personality as a candidate. I think that she has great presenting skills and delivers eloquent speeches. She definitely knows how to target her own audience.
The Democratic group of our class, which I am a part of, went to the Lexington County Democratic Party office where they delivered a presentation on the changes made on county and state executive committees before 2024 and now, as well as answered our questions. They provided us a phonebanking activity as well to invite people to their convention and to recruit a new chair. I have phonebanked for a non-profit organization I used to intern for in the past, but I was excited to get to phonebank for a political campaign. I got to talk to a gentleman who was a former republican turned democrat, and he was telling me about how he felt like he needed me to a change once he moved from New York to South Carolina and got involved in politics here.
