South Carolina GOP chairman coasts to reelection, fending off challenge from Lin Wood

Incumbent South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick easily won reelection on Saturday, defeating a challenge from controversial attorney Lin Wood.

McKissick, who had the backing of former President Donald Trump, won his third two-year term in the position with a final delegate tally of 582 for McKissick, 239 for Wood, and 37 for two other candidates, the South Carolina GOP tweeted Saturday night. The party’s vice chairmen were also all reelected to their positions.
