Trump Now Says Either Republican Candidate Would Be a Good Pick in South Carolina's Governor Runoff
Trump said either Republican candidate would be a good pick as he hedges after several endorsed candidates lost this month.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump endorsed both Governor Pamela Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson for South Carolina governor on Truth Social, declaring, "They are MAGA and America First all the way!"
- Trump's move mirrors his 2022 Missouri Senate primary tactic where he backed "ERIC," hedging bets after recent primary losses in Iowa and Georgia dampened his track record this month.
- Evette, who previously received Trump's "Complete and Total Endorsement," posted on Friday that she was "proud to come in first" on June 9 and is preparing for the June 23 election.
- Wilson expressed gratitude in a Friday social media post, stating he is "honored" to have Trump's backing as the president navigates a "mixed bag" primary season for his preferred candidates.
