Zyon Khalifa Wins South Carolina 2nd District Democratic Nomination With 56% of Vote

Summary
About 5,350 votes counted gave Zyon Khalifa 56%, enough to defeat David Robinson II and secure the Democratic nomination in South Carolina's 2nd Congressional District.
The runoff was required because no candidate won an outright majority in the June 9 primary, sending the top two finishers back to voters on June 23.
Khalifa now advances to November's general election, where the Democratic nominee is set to challenge incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson.
The result came as South Carolina closed out a broader primary runoff night that also settled party nominations for governor, attorney general and multiple congressional races.
