The Republican primary runoff for the South Carolina governor's race is set to take place on June 23. Following his endorsement of Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evitt three weeks ago, Trump announced on the 19th his support for the state's Attorney General Alan Wilson—meaning he is backing two candidates in a single vote. Evitt had previously surged ahead in the primary thanks to Trump’s endorsement, but has since trailed behind Wilson in polling data. Some view Trump’s move as capricious, while others believe he is trying to safeguard his track record of endorsements. This development deals a major blow to Evitt, whose campaign has largely centered around her relationship with the president.
