President Trump's Endorsement of Pamela Evette Shakes Up South Carolina GOP Governor Primary
In the lead-up to the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, President Trump's endorsement of Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette has significantly impacted the race. Rep. Nancy Mace, a contender in the primary, had previously claimed that Trump had not endorsed her rival, Evette. However, Trump publicly endorsed Evette, describing her as a 'good friend, fighter and winner.' This endorsement has highlighted Mace's less-than-solid relationship with Trump, despite her previous attempts to align with him. The endorsement has given Evette a noticeable boost in the polls, distinguishing her from other candidates like state Attorney General Alan Wilson and business executive Ron Reddy. The primary is set for June 9, with a potential runoff on June 23 if no candidate secures more than 50% of the vote.
