The 150 year old GrandDaddy of them All!! A Day at the Galivants Ferry Stump ( Ernest Hollings & Joe Biden )

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2541537/fan_mail/new] Looking Back at the Granddaddy of Them All!! A Day at the Galivants Ferry Stump with Ernest Hollings and Joe Biden Sometimes politics isn't found in television studios, campaign headquarters, or social media feeds. Sometimes it's found under the shade of South Carolina trees, beside a country store, with barbecue on the tables, candidates working the crowd, and neighbors gathering to hear the issues debated face-to-face. In this special rebroadcast, we take you back to one of the oldest and most beloved political traditions in South Carolina — the Galivants Ferry Stump, hosted for generations by the Horry County Democratic Party, the Holliday family of Galivants Ferry, and dedicated community leaders including longtime organizer Sally Howard. For more than 150 years, the Galivants Ferry Stump has served as a unique gathering place where politics meets community. Candidates from local offices to the presidency have made the journey to this small corner of Horry County to shake hands, share ideas, and participate in one of the state's most authentic political traditions. Unfortunately, the event was not held this year, and so we thought it was the perfect opportunity to revisit one of the most memorable stump gatherings from years past. Originally produced for our sister program, Randal Wallace Presents, this episode captures the spirit of old-fashioned South Carolina politics at its best — part political rally, part family reunion, and part community celebration. Featured are some of the most notable figures ever to appear at the Galivants Ferry Stump, including: • John Jenrette  • James Clyburn  • Ernest Hollings  • And then-Senator Joe Biden of Delaware What you'll hear is more than a political event. It's a snapshot of a disappearing style of campaigning — one built on personal contact, long speeches, local traditions, and the belief that politics is ultimately about people gathering together to discuss the future of their communities. The setting is unmistakably South Carolina: A country store. Gas pumps out front. Good food. Good stories. And some of the biggest names in Democratic politics sharing a stage in rural Horry County. Before politics became digital, it looked a lot like this. Join us as we revisit the granddaddy of them all — the Galivants Ferry Stump.
