Here’s what the Washington Examiner reported:
Donald Trump made an appearance at University of South Carolina football game against Clemson Saturday to a mixed reaction.
Trump arrived in a car to a crowd booing him before exiting the vehicle. Meanwhile another crowd awaited his entrance with chants of “USA.” The game was at South Carolina Gamecocks’ Williams-Brice Stadium, where Trump’s opponent Nikki Haley graduated from university. Haley went on to serve as governor for the state.
Neither the Tigers or the Gamecocks are ranked and the two teams compete in different conferences, meaning the result of the game will not be consequential to either team. The rivalry is known as the Palmetto bowl. Last year, the Gamecocks beat the Tigers by one point after a long streak of losing.
The appearance by Trump is a slight to Haley, who, according to polling, is in second place in the early primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Per WLTX:
Former President Donald Trump has arrived at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia to watch the Gamecocks and Tigers and to campaign for votes.
The former president and current front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination is on hand Saturday for South Carolina hosting Clemson in the annual Palmetto Bowl. He arrived at the stadium around 7 p.m., walking into the stadium’s “Hall of Captains” where he was greeted by several dozen supporters who’d shown up.
