Pamela Evette and Alan Wilson Advance to South Carolina GOP Primary Runoff on June 23; Nancy Mace Finishes Fifth After Trump Support Issues

  • Pamela Evette and Alan Wilson will compete in a runoff on June 23 after neither secured a majority in the primary, with Evette receiving 28.9% and Wilson 26.2% of the vote.
  • Evette has Trump's endorsement and leads in fundraising with $3.5 million, while Wilson has served as attorney general since 2011 and gained national attention from the Alex Murdaugh trial.
  • Both candidates share similar policy positions, including no further restrictions on abortion and plans to eliminate the state's personal income tax.
  • U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, who finished fifth with 12.1% of the vote, attributed her loss to a lack of Trump support after her call for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
