The South Carolina GOP governor race is moving toward the June 9 primary, with Rep. Ralph Norman publicly saying the contest “looks very good” for him. The first debate took place without Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and Rom Reddy, while other major contenders participated; Evette is backed by Gov. Henry McMaster. Nancy Mace also generated headlines with a “chemtrails” ban proposal.

Overall, the field still looks fluid with multiple active contenders.
