COLUMBIA, S.C.—Not long ago, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker was a target of protesters mainly in his home state. As the likely presidential candidate makes his way across the country, they now follow wherever he goes.

Picket signs have shadowed Walker outside a hotel in Dubuque, Iowa, a high school in Concord, N.H., and Thursday at a Marriott Hotel in Columbia, S.C., as he began a two-day swing through the state that in 11 months will host the first southern primary.
