Evette, Wilson Clash in Final GOP Gubernatorial Runoff Debate at Coastal Carolina University
The South Carolina Republican Party says the debate will help voters compare the two frontrunners before early voting starts.
- On Tuesday, Governor Pamela Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson faced off in a contentious gubernatorial runoff debate at Coastal Carolina University in Conway.
- Seeking the Republican nomination, Evette emphasized her business background and President Donald Trump's endorsement, while Wilson championed his experience as a prosecutor and combat veteran.
- The event drew relatives of victims from two high-profile state shootings, with Stephen Federico backing Wilson and Jennifer Foley supporting Evette amid heated personal exchanges.
- Sharp disagreements emerged over university funding, with Wilson warning against "stripping kids of money" for political disputes, while Evette vowed to stop tax dollars from supporting institutions suppressing conservative speech.
- Early voting for the runoff begins Wednesday, June 17, and voters will finalize their choice on June 23, following a primary where no candidate reached at least 50% of the vote.
