LEXINGTON, S.C. — South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick won a fourth two-year term, staving off a challenge from those who believe the party isn’t doing enough to push conservative values.
McKissick was challenged by Greenville County’s Jeff Davis, a leader of the My SCGOP movement, which advocated against COVID-19 precautions, such as wearing masks or vaccine requirements. Also in the race was Zoe Warren of Lexington County and Tim Cox of Charleston County. Denny Floyd of Anderson County also was nominated but withdrew before voting started.
McKissick carried 51.8% of the vote. In 2021 he had 68% of the vote when he was challenged by Lin Wood.
