Alan Wilson projected to win runoff in South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary

Alan Wilson won the Republican primary runoff for South Carolina governor, defeating Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette. This race was unique because President Donald Trump endorsed both candidates. Trump initially backed Evette and subsequently endorsed Wilson. Following the projection of Wilson's victory, the results highlight the mixed performance of Trump's endorsed candidates in gubernatorial contests. Wilson now secures the GOP nomination for the governor's office after the dual endorsement campaign concluded.
