The runoff will decide the nominee after neither candidate won a majority in the Republican primary, officials said.
- Stephen Goldfinch and David Stumbo have advanced to the Republican runoff for South Carolina Attorney General following the June 9 primary election.

- With 70.41 percent of precincts reporting, Goldfinch leads with 142,636 votes, while Stumbo follows with 119,887 votes and Pascoe trails with 81,780 votes.
- The South Carolina Runoff is scheduled for June 23, 2026, where the candidate receiving the most votes wins the Republican nomination.
- Democratic candidate Richard Hricik, who ran unopposed in the primary, will face the Republican nominee in the Nov 3 general election.
