Supports. Reuters reported that Trump's October 29 Rock Hill rally was his second South Carolina visit in two weeks, following a Clemson-area rally in Pendleton.[1][4]
Supports. The Hill reported on October 26 that the RNC had announced Trump would campaign in Rock Hill on Thursday, his second trip to South Carolina within a week, after a Clemson campaign stop the prior week.[3]
Supports. Fox Carolina and WYFF both describe the Rock Hill event as the second visit in about two weeks, following the Pendleton/Clemson rally, which places both South Carolina visits within the final two weeks before Election Day.[5][6]
Context. The claim's wording is slightly loose: the Clemson/Pendleton rally was October 21, and the second visit was on October 29. Both fall within the final two weeks, so the wording does not change the verdict. Source [0] (AP) reports the Kansas and Iowa rallies were canceled in favor of tele-rallies, which does not affect the South Carolina visits.[2][7]
