Trump Endorses Two Candidates in South Carolina GOP Gubernatorial Runoff

President Donald Trump endorsed both South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette in the Republican gubernatorial runoff scheduled for June 23. Trump announced his dual endorsement on Truth Social, stating that he believed supporting both candidates would not harm either. This runoff follows a primary where Evette finished first and Wilson second, leading to their advancement as no candidate secured a majority. Trump's endorsements have been a focal point in recent GOP primaries, with mixed results in previous contests. The winner of the South Carolina runoff will face Democratic nominee Jermaine Johnson in the general election, where Republicans have not lost a gubernatorial race in the state for 28 years.
