Pam has my Complete and Total Endorsement \u2014 SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When no candidate secured a majority of votes in the initial Republican primary on June 9, Evette and Wilson advanced to a runoff. That prompted Trump to backtrack on his glowing endorsement on Evette last Friday, and then publicly endorse both candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Putting a positive spin on the situation, the president said South Carolina was now \u201cloaded up\u201d with \u201ctwo Highly Respected Candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Replicating his language about Evette for Wilson, Trump said, \u201cBoth have had amazing careers, and have been with me from the beginning. They are MAGA and America First all the way!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson had previously never been mentioned on Trump\u2019s Truth Social.<\/p>\n<p>The initial field for the Republican gubernatorial primary featured Wilson and Evette, as well as businessman Rom Reddy, U.S. Rep. Ralph Norman and Rep. Nancy Mace.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2092\">Trump Delighted In Watching Top Cabinet Goons Tear Into Each Other<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In his post endorsing both candidates, Trump claimed, \u201cThese were the two that I was hoping would get into a Runoff, and they did. I can\u2019t hurt one of them by only Endorsing the other, so, therefore, I am going to Endorse, for Governor of South Carolina, both Pam Evette and Alan Wilson! It\u2019s a Wealth of Riches \u2013 With either one you can\u2019t go wrong. Vote for Pam or Alan \u2014 They will not let you down!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Trump ally Ted Cruz appeared with Wilson this week during appearances in South Carolina ahead of the election.<\/p>\n<p>At his victory speech on Tuesday, Wilson said he was \u201chonored\u201d to receive Trump\u2019s belated endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe co-endorsed me late last week, because, I believe he recognized what we\u2019ve been doing for the last 10 years to support the things he was trying to accomplish with his administration,\u201d Wilson said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut also, I think he saw the fight in our campaign, the energy in our campaign. And I think I think he likes a fighter, and I think that\u2019s what won him over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson thanked Evette, saying, \u201cShe is not my enemy. He supporters are not our enemy. They are kinsmen&#8230; we competed, and it was sometimes very tough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mace had also wanted to have Trump\u2019s endorsement in the South Carolina primary, and had posted a bizarre AI-generated image video of herself with Trump making the thumbs up gesture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPamela Evette is NOT ENDORSED by DONALD TRUMP,\u201d Mace captioned her May 29 post. \u201cDo not believe her LIES.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Trump posted his initial solo endorsement of Evette hours later.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson thanked Mace during his victory speech on Tuesday, saying \u201cthings didn\u2019t start out too cool with Nancy and me,\u201d but added, \u201conce we got a chance to talk, we were both able to rise above our differences.
