由于本次初选共有六名候选人，无人达到避免决选所需的多数票门槛，帕梅拉·埃维特与艾伦·威尔逊将进入南卡罗来纳州州长共和党初选决选。决选选举将于6月23日举行。
埃维特是南卡罗来纳州现任副州长，曾获得特朗普总统的背书。艾伦·威尔逊担任南卡罗来纳州州检察长已超过15年。
南卡罗来纳州共和党州长初选是全美竞争最激烈的初选之一，周二选举前并无明确的领跑者。
被淘汰的候选人包括共和党众议员南希·梅斯，她过去曾与特朗普总统存在分歧。2021年1月6日国会骚乱后，她谴责了特朗普，后者在2022年她的国会连任竞选中支持了一名初选挑战者，但梅斯最终赢得了那场选举。尽管此后她与特朗普的互动有所缓和，但梅斯在众议院推动公开爱泼斯坦文件的过程中发挥了关键作用。
特朗普在初选前不久背书帕梅拉·埃维特，冷落了梅斯。
梅斯已于周二认输并背书威尔逊。周二晚间，梅斯在社交媒体上发帖称：“作为一名幸存者，我选择坚守原则，反对掩盖爱泼斯坦事件的真相。”
“显然，如果选举获胜是目标的话，我的选择错了，”梅斯补充道。

在提前投票期间，特朗普总统称埃维特是“一位好朋友、斗士和赢家”。特朗普的背书与任期将满的南卡罗来纳州州长亨利·麦克马斯特的立场一致，后者也在支持埃维特。
南卡罗来纳州州参议员乔希·金布雷尔、美国众议员拉尔夫·诺曼以及前企业高管罗姆·雷迪也在初选之夜落败。
南卡罗来纳州自2003年卸任的州长吉姆·霍奇斯以来就没有民主党州长，且特朗普在2024年大选中以58%的得票率赢得该州，这意味着共和党候选人将是11月大选的热门人选。
Pamela Evette, Alan Wilson head to runoff in crowded GOP primary for South Carolina governor, CBS News projects

Pamela Evette and Alan Wilson are heading to a runoff in South Carolina’s Republican primary for governor after none of the six candidates in the primary reached the required majority threshold of votes to avoid a runoff. The runoff election will be June 23.
Evette is South Carolina’s current lieutenant governor and had President Trump’s backing. Alan Wilson has been South Carolina’s attorney general for over 15 years.
The South Carolina GOP gubernatorial race was one of the widest open primaries in the country, with there being no clear frontrunner heading into Tuesday night.
Candidates knocked out of the race include GOP Rep. Nancy Mace, who has had some disagreements with Mr. Trump in the past. She condemned Mr. Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, and he endorsed a primary challenger in her House reelection race in 2022, but she prevailed in that race. Although she and Mr. Trump had warmer interactions afterward, Mace was instrumental in the House push to release the Epstein files.
Mr. Trump snubbed Mace by endorsing Pamela Evette shortly before the primary.
Mace conceded on Tuesday and endorsed Wilson. In a post on social media on Tuesday night, Mace said “as a survivor, I chose to stand on principle and stand against the Epstein cover-up.”
“And apparently, I chose wrong if the goal was winning an election,” Mace added.

During early voting, the president called Evette a “good friend, fighter, and WINNER.” The president’s endorsement echoed term-limited South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, who is also backing Evette.
South Carolina state Sen. Josh Kimbrell, U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman and former business executive Rom Reddy also lost out on primary night.
South Carolina hasn’t had a Democratic governor since Gov. Jim Hodges, who left office in 2003, and Mr. Trump Trump won the state with 58% of the vote in 2024, making the Republican candidate the favorite to win in November.
