Trump Endorses Pamela Evette in South Carolina Governor Primary

Outlets agree that Donald Trump endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette over Rep. Nancy Mace in South Carolina’s Republican gubernatorial primary. Left-leaning outlets cast the endorsement as a snub to Mace despite her efforts to align herself with Trump. Center outlets place it among Mace’s campaign challenges and focus on mixed indications of its effect on the race. Right-leaning outlets foreground Mace’s claim that it barely helped Evette and her appeal to voters.
