Day 3 - 2/19

 

This morning we got to talk to AP national Reporter Meg Kinnard. I really enjoyed her attitude towards her work and her authenticity to the Associated Press' brand. She was very insightful and offered us a lot of information. 


After we were able to go to the SCDP headquarters and talk with the Executive Director, Jay, and Chairwoman, Christie Splain. They talked about why the democratic arty chose South Carolina to go first in their nomination process and what they do in their positions.

Day 1 - 2/17

  My first day campaigning for Trump in SC was super exciting! We got to learn about and participate in phone banking and canvassing. At the end of the day, we got to meet with former White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley. He was so insightful and gave us an opportunity to ask any questions! Made it on the leaderboard for phonebanking in the Trump office!

Day 5 - 2/21

  Unfortunately, I got sick on Wednesday and spent my morning in the urgent care. Luckily, my classmates were able to share their experiences with me. Team Trump got to see Laura Trump in person at their office in Charleston.  The Students working fro the SCDP had the really cool opportunity to see Vivek Ramaswamy at a brewery. While i'm sad I had to miss out, I am lucky that I caught my illness early and will be ready to go tomorrow!

Professor Redlawsk, Why Iowa?

The next few classes we were tasked with reading Redlawsk's book  Why Iowa?,   and evaluating his analysis of the importance of the Iowa caucus through a 4-5 page paper. I found this interesting because when we were reading this book and making our case, the Iowa Caucus was occurring in real time!
