Congressman Trey Gowdy and Senator Tim Scott join GOP candidate Marco Rubio on 'Hannity'

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley will endorse Marco Rubio Wednesday, three days before the South Carolina primary.

In a major endorsement, Nikki Haley will join Sen. Rubio at Chapin, S.C. rally Wednesday night, South Carolina's The State reports.

Haley gave a fiery State of the Union response speech in January that targeted Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, as much as it targeted President Obama.

Haley joins the state's junior U.S. senator, Tim Scott, in endorsing Rubio. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has endorsed Jeb Bush.

Both Rubio and Bush lag behind Trump in the polls in South Carolina, however.
