State Attorney General Alan Wilson has won the Republican nomination for governor of South Carolina, NBC News projected Tuesday, after a closely watched runoff that featured President Donald Trump’s unusual double endorsement of two candidates.
Wilson is now heavily favored heading into the general election in South Carolina’s first open governor’s race since 2010. Republican Gov. Henry McMaster was term-limited and could not seek re-election. Democratic candidate Jermaine Johnson won his primary this month
In the initial June 9 Republican primary, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette finished first with 29% of the votes, while Wilson placed second with 26%, with both advancing to the runoff.
Trump had expressed support for Evette less than two weeks ahead of the initial primary. However, he posted on Truth Social a few days before Tuesday’s runoff that he would now endorse both Wilson and Evette.

Wonder what Nancy Mace is gonna run for next?
Blind Al??
Trump should not have done that. Eventually was a loyal from way back and good candidate whom Trump endorsed first. I don’t know what the RINO Wilson did to get Trumps endorsement after he had already endorsed Evette but it stinks. Trump wants loyalty and Evette was there for him way back when Trump was radioactive. Disappointing.
Well Wilson was the odds on favorite after Mace,Norman, and Reddy were eliminated, so I guess Trump’s ego needed a win. As to Wilson, he is better than the Democrat, but is a charter member of the SC good old boy club. Rinos all.
What about Lindsey??
