In a closely watched Republican primary, South Carolina state Attorney General Alan Wilson has emerged victorious in the GOP nomination for governor, according to NBC News projections. Wilson's win comes as a surprise to some, given that former President Donald Trump had endorsed two other candidates in the runoff. The endorsement of Trump, who remains a dominant force in the Republican Party, was seen as a significant factor in the election, but ultimately, Wilson's strong grassroots support and reputation as a law-and-order advocate appear to have carried the day. With this win, Wilson is now poised to face off against Democratic challenger in the general election, setting the stage for a heated campaign in the Palmetto State.
