At a South Carolina rally supporting Senator Lindsey Graham, President Donald Trump faced multiple hecklers, with one protester punched by a rally attendee and subsequently removed by police. Trump praised the punch, comparing the individual to boxer Evander Holyfield, who was also present. The event saw repeated disruptions, with Trump alleging protesters were paid to interrupt. Meanwhile, his approval rating has dropped to a record low ahead of the midterm elections, reflecting voter dissatisfaction on various issues.
