South Carolina Primary Battle Intensifies

South Carolina voters are casting ballots in a fiercely contested primary that could reshape the state’s political future. With the governor’s seat open for the first time in 16 years, five Republicans—Pamela Evette, Nancy Mace, Ralph Norman, Rom Reddy, and Alan Wilson—are neck-and-neck, with no one projected to win outright, setting up a June 23 runoff. Meanwhile, the First Congressional District, now open after Mace’s gubernatorial bid, features 17 candidates and also risks a runoff. Voters also decide on key statewide races including U.S. Senate, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and more, plus dozens of local offices—all too close to call and poised to determine South Carolina’s next chapter.
