President Donald Trump endorses both remaining Republican candidates in South Carolina’s gubernatorial runoff, a move aimed at avoiding another primary-style setback before voters return to the polls. After initially backing Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette during the GOP nomination process earlier this year, Trump also backs her opponent, state Attorney General Alan Wilson, in the runoff. Multiple outlets report that Trump presents the two candidates as interchangeable options for Republican voters, telling supporters that they “can’t go wrong” with either Evette or Wilson. The dual endorsement is described as unusual for Trump and comes days before the runoff election. Reporting also notes that Trump’s initial preferred candidate, Evette, faces political pressure as polls show the race tightening. In coverage after the runoff, Fox News reports that Alan Wilson defeats Evette, following the president’s decision to hedge by backing both contenders.
