South Carolina’s Republican gubernatorial primary is advancing to a runoff between two candidates who both align themselves with former President Trump’s political movement.
Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, who secured Trump’s endorsement, will face off against Attorney General Alan Wilson in the GOP runoff election. Wilson, while also a Trump supporter, did not receive the former president’s backing in the race.
The matchup sets up an interesting dynamic where both contenders appeal to the same conservative base that has embraced Trump’s political brand, despite only one candidate having his official support.
