South Carolina Governor’s Race Heats Up

South Carolina’s governor’s race is heating up as longtime GOP Gov. Henry McMaster steps aside—marking the first time in a decade he’s not on the ballot. Republican Alan Wilson, former AG and military vet, vows to slash taxes—including eliminating the state income tax—and make government more transparent and affordable. His running mate, Sen. Mike Reichenbach, is already locked in. Facing him is Democrat Jermaine Johnson, a state Rep. promising bold change after voters rejected the status quo, citing surprising GOP primary losses. Johnson, aiming to be the first Democrat to win since the 90s, hasn’t picked his VP yet but says it’s coming soon. This fall’s showdown could reshape the Palmetto State’s political future.
