|| By FITSNEWS || U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky will attempt to revive his presidential prospects with a visit to early-voting South Carolina this weekend.

Paul – whose 2016 campaign is in dire need of a pick-me-up – will travel to the Palmetto State on Friday and Saturday, stopping in Rock Hill, Spartanburg, Laurens, Columbia and Goose Creek.

The latest South Carolina polling shows Paul drawing the support of only one percent of “Republican” primary voters – an abysmal showing for a candidate many viewed as a potential frontrunner for the GOP nomination.

Paul’s visit also comes amid rumors that other 2016 campaigns are attempting to poach his key supporters.

Can Paul pull things together? Can he recapture his campaign’s momentum? Can he capitalize on the grassroots movement his father, former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, inspired?

We’ll see …
