Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a campaign rally in South Carolina Monday night. In preparation for the rally, CNN’s Jim Acosta did a live shot in front of the crowd gathered in the arena hours before the president would speak.

Acosta said the crowd was “fired up,” and said that “they are letting the press corps know how they feel about what we’re doing here.”
