Primary Day in South Carolina: Election Results and Trump’s Endorsement
Pamela Evette leads a crowded field as five Republicans seek the nomination, with a runoff expected if no candidate tops 50%, pollsters said.
- On Tuesday, the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary will test President Trump's influence following his recent statewide primary loss, as voters choose a successor to term-limited Gov. Henry McMaster.
- Donald Trump endorsed Pamela Evette to replace McMaster, though she faces stiff competition from State Attorney General Alan Wilson and other Republican contenders in the crowded field.
- Decision Desk polling shows Evette and Wilson nearly tied at 19 and 18 percent, respectively, while businessman Rom Reddy holds 15 percent, with Ralph Norman and Nancy Mace trailing at around 14 percent each.
- With no candidate expected to secure an outright majority Tuesday, the race will likely tip into a runoff between the top two vote-getters on June 23, requiring a second round of voting.
- Wilson served as vice-chair of the Republican Attorneys General Association during the January 6th attack, while Nancy Mace has notably broken with Trump by supporting the release of the Epstein files.
