COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Republican South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has won his party’s nomination for a second full term. He will face a Democratic challenger in November. Five candidates were seeking the Democratic nomination in Tuesday's primary: former U.S. House member Joe Cunningham, state Sen. Mia McLeod, health care administrator Carlton Boyd, barber and musician Calvin “CJ Mack” McMillan and Vietnam veteran and former postal worker William H. “Cowboy” Williams. Cunningham and McLeod have raised much more money than any of their opponents.
