President Donald Trump has thrown his support behind South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, praising her conservative credentials and leadership record. This move is seen as a blow to fellow Republican Nancy Mace, who had been viewed as a potential frontrunner in the race to succeed term-limited Governor Henry McMaster.
Evette, 57, has a strong business background, having served as the president and CEO of Quality Business Solutions, a payroll and human resources company based in South Carolina. She has championed conservative priorities like job creation, workforce development, and small-business growth throughout her tenure in office.
Trump's endorsement, announced on Truth Social, positions Evette as a leading contender in the South Carolina governor's race. However, Mace's recent calls for the complete release of the Epstein Files may have contributed to Trump's decision to back Evette instead.
