Former President Donald Trump prayed with an emotional South Carolina restaurant worker during a campaign stop, a viral video showed.
Trump approached the counter at Zesto of West Columbia on Saturday and asked a female employee if she recommends the food as the worker records the ex-president with her cellphone camera.
"Yes sir," the employee at the counter responds before asking, "Do you care if I pray for you?"
"Go ahead," Trump says before the woman holds his hand and asks God to watch over him, the video shows.

During his remarks in the state, Trump took issue with Hunter Biden's business dealings, argued President Biden is taking the U.S. to the "brink of World War III," and railed against critical race theory and transgender issues.
