サウスカロライナ州の共和党パメラ・エベット副知事とアラン・ウィルソン司法長官は、火曜日の予備選でどちらも過半数を獲得できなかったため、6月23日の決選投票で争うことになった。
ディシジョン・デスクHQによると、開票の結果、エベット氏が29％の票を獲得して首位に立ち、ウィルソン氏が26％で続いた。ヘンリー・マクマスター知事の後継をめぐっては、ナンシー・メイス下院議員やラルフ・ノーマン下院議員を含む7人の候補者が争った。トランプ前大統領は5月29日、自身のSNSであるトゥルース・ソーシャルを通じてエベット氏への支持を表明し、同氏を「...」と評した。
Xのユーザーの間では、パメラ・エベット氏がアラン・ウィルソン氏とのサウスカロライナ州共和党知事選の決選投票に進んだことに対し、賛否両論の反応が見られた。トランプ氏の支持と政策方針を称賛する声がある一方で、エベット氏のこれまでの実績を批判する声や、トランプ氏を支持しつつもエベット氏には反対するという意見もあった。メディアのアカウントでは、今回の予備選がトランプ氏の支持の影響力を測る試金石であるという中立的な予測が共有された。

This lightweight is "leading" the South Carolina GOP governor primary with a laughable 22% (2.9% margin of error), a razor-thin edge over Alan Wilson that's literally within the margin…
Hell to the no - we love and stand by President Trump, but SC does not need Pamela Evette as governor.
