South Carolina GOP

President Donald Trump endorsed both candidates in South Carolina's Republican gubernatorial runoff, with state Attorney General Alan Wilson defeating Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette to secure the GOP nomination. Trump's endorsement of both Wilson and Evette occurred as part of a crowded primary field that included Reps. Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman, who later endorsed Wilson after failing to advance to the runoff.

President Donald Trump endorsed both candidates in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial runoff, but Alan Wilson, the state attorney general, won the GOP nomination against Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette. Trump's endorsement of both candidates, including an 11th-hour switch to Wilson, highlighted his influence over the GOP primary process.

The South Carolina GOP primary to replace Nancy Mace will proceed to a runoff on June 23 after Jenny Honeycutt and Mark Smith advanced. Mace, who is running for governor, has not endorsed a successor, and the district has been held by Republicans for most of the past forty years.
