Primary elections in South Carolina are scheduled to be held on June 9, 2026, with a runoff election scheduled to be held on June 23, 2026. This market will resolve according to the margin of victory between the top two candidates in the first round of the South Carolina Governor Republican Primary. The “margin of victory” is defined as the absolute difference between the percentages of valid votes received by the first-place and second-place candidates. Percentages of the valid votes received by each candidate will be determined by dividing the total number of valid votes each of the top two candidates receives by the sum of all valid votes cast in the election. If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher margin bracket. If two candidates receive the exact same highest number of valid votes and both are listed, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket for the tied candidate whose last name comes first alphabetically. If only one of the tied candidates is listed, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket for that listed candidate. If neither tied candidate is listed, this market will resolve to “Other.” This market will resolve based on the official vote count once the count has been made official. If the results of the specified election are not known definitively by November 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the State of South Carolina, such as official statewide results published by the South Carolina Election Commission (https://scvotes.gov/); however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice. If a recount is initiated before the vote total has been made official, the market will remain open until the recount is completed and the vote is made official.Pamela Evette, South Carolina’s lieutenant governor and the Trump-endorsed candidate in an open Republican primary, secured a narrow first-round plurality of roughly 28.9 percent on June 9, 2026, ahead of Attorney General Alan Wilson at 26.1 percent. The crowded field—including Reps. Ralph Norman and Nancy Mace plus businessman Rom Reddy—split the remaining vote and prevented any candidate from reaching a majority, triggering a June 23 runoff. Late polling averages showed Evette and Wilson separated by only a few points, while Evette benefited from institutional support as the sitting lieutenant governor and endorsements from both President Trump and term-limited Gov. Henry McMaster. This vote fragmentation produced the sub-5 percent margin reflected in current trader consensus, with larger leads or different winners requiring far stronger consolidation behind one challenger than materialized.
