'Trump's a little worried': Former GOP rep. explains ex-president's latest move

Donald Trump is running scared in South Carolina, former Republican Rep. Carlos Curbelo (FL) said on Saturday.

Curbelo appeared on PoliticsNation on MSNBC, where he was asked about President Joe Biden's sagging numbers in some polls. The former lawmaker, now a political analyst, said Biden "needs to start running to the center if you wants to get his poll numbers up."

"He is the general election candidate for Democrats. He does not have a serious primary challenger," Curbelo said, noting that the same is not the case for Biden's likely GOP challenger. The former president on Saturday is scheduled to attend a famous football game, known as the "Palmetto Bowl," at Nikki Haley's alma mater.

"Donald Trump, on the other hand ... the reason he's in South Carolina is because Donald Trump's a little worried about Nikki Haley," Curbelo said. "She's been growing in the polls and he has to face her one on one in some of these early primary states, she could give him a run for his money."
