Trump Endorses Pam Evette Over Nancy Mace for South Carolina Governor
The Hill reported on May 29, 2026 that Trump endorsed Mace's primary rival, Lt. Gov. Pam Evette, for the South Carolina governorship, a snub Mace publicly attributed to her vote to release the Epstein files. The endorsement was widely covered as the direct consequence of the months-long standoff between Mace and the Trump administration over the file release.
The Hill's reporting on Trump's Evette endorsement captures the political cost Mace bore for her Epstein advocacy, the day she posted "I voted to release the Epstein files. NO REGRETS" on X.
