Summary
South Carolina’s governor’s race heats up as Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and AG Alan Wilson battle in a Republican runoff — both backed by Trump, who couldn’t choose just one. The winner could shape the 2028 presidential race, since South Carolina’s primary holds major sway. Democrats haven’t won here since 1998. Meanwhile, in the First District, Rep. Nancy Mace’s seat is up for grabs in a GOP runoff between Jenny Costa Honeycutt and Mark Smith. Voters who cast a primary ballot can only vote in their party’s runoff — but those who didn’t can pick either party’s runoff. Polls close at 7 PM Eastern.
