Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson advanced to a Republican runoff for South Carolina governor, while Rep. Nancy Mace finished well back and failed to qualify. Mace had given up a bid for a fifth House term to pursue the governorship but could not secure one of the top two spots in Tuesday's primary. The runoff will determine the GOP nominee in reliably Republican South Carolina, shaping who faces the Democratic nominee and the state's political direction this fall.
