2026 South Carolina gubernatorial election
The 2026 South Carolina gubernatorial election will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the next governor of South Carolina. Republican state attorney general Alan Wilson and Democratic state representative Jermaine Johnson are the nominees for their respective parties. Republican incumbent Henry McMaster is ineligible to seek a third consecutive term. In the Republican primary on June 9, Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette emerged as the top vote-getter with the help of an endorsement from President Donald Trump, but did not secure a majority needed to win the nomination, triggering a June 23 runoff between her and Wilson. After Trump announced his support for both Wilson and Evette, Wilson was nominated in the runoff with 68.6% of the vote. Johnson won the Democratic nomination in the June 9 primary with 59.7% of the vote against Billy Webster, the chief of staff for former governor Richard Riley. Democrats have not won a gubernatorial election in South Carolina since 1998.
