Republican Presidential Hopefuls Attend SC “Faith and Family” Forum

Four Republican presidential hopefuls were among those at a discussion on faith issues in South Carolina, a week before the state's first primary election.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio attended its 2016 Faith and Family Presidential Forum.

The gathering in Greenville comes a day before GOP presidential hopefuls meet there for a debate. Candidates take the stage one at a time before Upstate conservative voters, for whom faith is key.

Attorney General Alan Wilson moderated the event, along with Oran Smith, president of Palmetto Family. The forum is being held in Founder's Memorial Auditorium on the campus of Bob Jones University.
