COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — President Donald Trump changed his tune Friday heading into South Carolina's runoff next week, saying either Republican contender for governor — not just Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, whom he endorsed before the primary earlier this month — would be a good pick.
On his Truth Social platform, Trump praised both Evette and state Attorney General Alan Wilson, writing: "Both have had amazing careers, and have been with me from the beginning. They are MAGA and America First all the way!"
The move represents a hedging of Trump's bets in a primary season where he has seen some of his endorsed candidates fall short, rare defeats that have stirred doubts about his clout as he approaches the back half of his second term.
Trump previously gave Evette his "Complete and Total Endorsement." He also said "A BIG added plus" for her campaign is that Henry McMaster Jr. — the son of the current governor, a close ally — may be Evette's running mate. But the 38-year-old lawyer later said he would not be considered for the post.
On social media Friday, Evette posted: "I was proud to come in first as President realDonaldTrump's endorsed candidate for Governor on June 9th. Looking forward to doing it again on June 23rd."
