South Carolina Runoffs Heat Up

South Carolina shattered its early voting record as over 72,000 ballots were cast in the primary runoffs — the highest turnout in state history — setting the stage for Tuesday’s pivotal elections. Voters across all 46 counties can now weigh in on the Republican gubernatorial race between Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, backed by Gov. McMaster and Trump, and AG Alan Wilson, supported by Reps. Mace and Norman. Evette has shut down rumors about her running mate being Gov. McMaster’s son, while Wilson’s pick, Sen. Mike Reichenbach, was announced in January. Democratic nominee Jermaine Johnson remains silent on his running mate. With runoff ballots already pouring in, this could be the most consequential election in South Carolina’s political calendar yet.
