Nancy Mace Says Trump's 5-Point Boost for Pamela Evette Won't Decide June 9 Primary

Summary
Mace said Trump’s endorsement gave South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette only about a 5-point bump and has not locked up Tuesday’s Republican gubernatorial primary.
The congresswoman tied Trump’s decision to back Evette to her vote pushing release of Epstein-related files, saying she knew that stance could cost her the endorsement.
Trump endorsed Evette last week as early voting began, with term-limited Gov. Henry McMaster also backing her and Trump saying he expects her to pick Henry McMaster Jr. for lieutenant governor.
Five Republicans are in the field — including Mace, Evette, Alan Wilson, Ralph Norman and Rom Reddy — and if no one wins a majority, the top two advance to a runoff that Mace says could reset the race.
