>McKissick defeats pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood in South Carolina GOP race

 

South Carolina Republican Party Chair Drew McKissick won reelection to his post Saturday, batting down a challenge from pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood that drew national attention.

 

McKissick easily won with roughly 68 percent of the votes from 861 delegates who cast ballots, while Wood took just under 28 percent of the vote. The remaining 4.3 percent of the vote was split between Michael LaPierre and Mark Powell.

 

Wood, a vocal backer of former President Trump's baseless election claims, put up strong showings in Greenville and Horry Counties but failed to get big enough numbers elsewhere, falling far behind McKissick, who had locked up establishment support in the race.
