Trump backs both SC GOP hopefuls to avoid another primary setback

TL;DR Summary
President Donald Trump endorsed both Pam Evette and Alan Wilson in South Carolina’s Republican governor runoff, saying he can’t hurt either by picking one and calling both “MAGA and America First.” Evette led the June 9 primary but won less than 30% and will face Wilson in the June 23 runoff, a race in which Wilson has also drawn support from former rivals and Sen. Tim Scott.
