Lowcountry Runoff Showdown

South Carolina voters head to the polls today for high-stakes runoff races that could shape the Lowcountry’s future — with intense battles unfolding in both the Republican gubernatorial race and the First Congressional District. In the governor’s race, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and AG Alan Wilson clash over law enforcement, economic growth, and Trump-backed endorsements. Meanwhile, in the First District, Democrats Nancy Lacore (a Navy admiral) and Mac Deford (a Coast Guard vet) vie on national security and affordability, while Republicans Jenny Honeycutt and Mark Smith compete on spending, safety, and conservative governance. Polls are open all day — and party loyalty matters: primary voters must stick with their party, while others can choose freely. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
