南卡罗来纳州总检察长艾伦·威尔逊将在11月的南卡罗来纳州州长竞选对阵民主党州众议员杰梅因·约翰逊,而共和党正力争在这个 reliably 红色州保住州长职位。

CBS新闻预测,威尔逊于周二晚间赢得南卡罗来纳州共和党初选runoff,击败副州长帕梅拉·埃维特。由于上月的初选中没有候选人获得50%的选票,本次选举进入了决选,当时包括众议员拉尔夫·诺曼、南希·梅斯以及沿海商人罗姆·雷迪在内的其他七名候选人已被淘汰。

威尔逊自2010年起担任南卡罗来纳州总检察长,是该州历史上任职时间最长的总检察长。他在初选中获得26.2%的选票,以微弱差距落后于埃维特的28.9%。除了漫长的总检察长任职经历外,威尔逊还在南卡罗来纳州陆军国民法官 Advocate 团担任上校军衔。他还因参与亚历克斯·莫多审判案而为人熟知。

尽管总统特朗普在5月早些时候为埃维特背书,称她是“好朋友、斗士和赢家”,威尔逊仍在周二取得了胜利。2018年州长亨利·麦克马斯特选中埃维特作为其竞选搭档,开启了她的政治生涯,他也在决选中支持埃维特。

但就在上周,特朗普同时为两位决选候选人背书,他写道:“我不能只支持其中一位而伤害另一位,因此,我将为南卡罗来纳州州长竞选同时支持帕姆·埃维特和艾伦·威尔逊!”

此次二次背书是在威尔逊在民调中势头回升,以及特朗普在另外两场州长初选中的背书未能带来胜利之后做出的。

威尔逊还获得了梅斯的支持,梅斯在初选中认输后背书了他。梅斯与特朗普本人关系紧张,她的背书可能让那些对特朗普掌控该州共和党心存疑虑的选民对威尔逊产生信任。

随着决选尘埃落定,共和党人如今将注意力转向11月的选举。在这个自1998年以来从未选出过民主党州长的州,威尔逊被视为热门候选人。他将在11月3日的大选中对阵赢得民主党初选的约翰逊。

Attorney General Alan Wilson wins runoff in South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary, CBS News projects

State Attorney General Alan Wilson will face off against Democratic state Rep. Jermaine Johnson in November’s race for South Carolina governor, as Republicans look to hold onto the governor’s office in a reliably red state.

CBS News projects Wilson won the Republican runoff in South Carolina on Tuesday night, defeating Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette. The contest went to a runoff after no candidate secured 50% of the vote in last month’s primary, where seven other candidates, including Reps. Ralph Norman and Nancy Mace and coastal businessman Rom Reddy, were eliminated.

Wilson has served as South Carolina’s attorney general since 2010, making him the longest-serving person to hold that role in history. He secured 26.2% in the initial primary, narrowly trailing Evette’s 28.9%. Along with a lengthy history as AG, Wilson also serves as a colonel in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps for the South Carolina Army National Guard. He is also known for his work on the Alex Murdaugh trial.

Tuesday’s victory came despite an earlier endorsement in May for Evette from President Trump, who called her “good friend, fighter, and WINNER.” Gov. Henry McMaster, who launched Evette’s political career by selecting her as his running mate in 2018, also backed her in the runoff.

But then last week, Mr. Trump endorsed both candidates in the runoff, writing: “I can’t hurt one of them by only endorsing the other, so, therefore, I am going to endorse, for Governor of South Carolina, both Pam Evette and Alan Wilson!”

That second endorsement came after Wilson picked up momentum in the polls, and after Mr. Trump’s endorsements in two other gubernatorial primaries did not result in wins.

Wilson also drew support from Mace, who endorsed him after conceding in the primary. Mace, who had her own fraught relationship with Mr. Trump, may have given Wilson credibility with voters skeptical of the president’s grip on the state party.

With the runoff settled, Republicans now turn their attention to November, where Wilson is considered a heavy favorite in a state that has not elected a Democratic governor since 1998. He will face Johnson, who won the Democratic primary, in the general election on Nov. 3.
