Lindsey Graham, top Trump ally, wins South Carolina GOP primary as he seeks 5th Senate term
GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and state Attorney General Alan Wilson advanced to a June runoff for the Republican nomination for South Carolina governor, while U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham won his own GOP primary outright Tuesday in his pursuit of a fifth term in November.
Trump early on gave his endorsement of Graham, a political confidant and regular golfing partner of the president, despite their on-again, off-again relationship. Graham also had secured the state’s leading Republicans, Sen. Tim Scott and Gov. Henry McMaster, to chair his 2026 run.
