Republican Gov. Henry McMaster is barred by term limits from running again, meaning South Carolina is having its first open governor’s race since 2010. Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette is part of a crowded Republican field that includes two members of Congress, the state attorney general and more. Candidates must get majority support to win primaries outright; otherwise, the top two finishers go to a June 23 runoff.
