Representatives Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman are continuing their campaigns for the South Carolina governor's race despite losing the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. Trump endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, which has positioned her as a front-runner in the race. Candidates need to secure more than 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff, which is scheduled for June 23. Norman announced state Rep. Adam Morgan as his running mate, branding their campaign as the 'freedom caucus ticket.' Mace has also committed to staying in the race, emphasizing her dedication to her principles. State Attorney General Alan Wilson has also stated he will remain a candidate. A senior GOP strategist noted that Trump's endorsement is a significant factor in Republican primaries, suggesting that those without it face challenging odds.
