South Carolina Governor Primary Election 2026 Live Results...

Republican Gov. Henry McMaster is barred by term limits from running again, meaning South Carolina is having its first open governor’s race since 2010. Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette is part of a crowded Republican field that includes two members of Congress, the state attorney general and more. Candidates must get majority support to win primaries outright; otherwise, the top two finishers go to a June 23 runoff.
