Trump Endorses Evette for Governor

President Donald Trump has endorsed South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette for governor, snubbing incumbent Rep. Nancy Mace in the Republican primary.

Trump praised Evette as an 'America First Patriot' who has remained loyal to his administration's agenda.

The endorsement is seen as a direct rebuke of Mace, who has been critical of the president's Department of Justice and its handling of the Epstein investigation.

Political analysts suggest the move demonstrates Trump's continued dominance over the GOP primary process.

Mace, once a staunch ally, now faces an uphill battle to retain her seat against a Trump-backed challenger.
