@greta @C__Herridge THANK YOU! Agree 100%

IT was terrible that CBS fired @C__Herridge - I worked w/ her for years and she is one of the smartest, hardest working journalists who never ‘sold out’ to be popular among other journalists

@reddyforgov nope

It’s time for something different. Early voting ends tomorrow, and primary Election Day is just 5 days away. Don’t miss this huge opportunity to make your voice heard and be a part of a revolution in South Carolina!

@JoeBReporter She needs to bow out. RALPH NORMAN needs to win this primary.

Evette briefly spoke to media and we asked her if she would participate in a June 16 debate if she's in a runoff. "I'm focused on today is winning this thing out right on June 9, and I'm going to work as hard as I can to do that," Evette said. (1/3)

@RalphNormanFan 100% voting for this ticket! GO RALPH GO! Then GO FIX OUR COURTS.

CONSERVATIVES ARE VOTING FOR THIS TICKET 🇺🇸

@NancyMace Nancy ... stay in congress! Y'all vote for Ralph.

Your worst fears have come to life. Corporate interests were chosen over your children. Politicians are for the rich and powerful. I’m for you and your kids. Move SILFAB.

@SCVotersCo Hey Ralph! I voted for you! Now FIX OUR COURT SYSTEM! ... next year when you are Gov.

If it ain’t mossy oak, real tree, or maybe some bougie Sitka stuff, it ain’t camo in SC. Love multi cam, but that’s the camo of the military not the camo of the people.

@NancyMace Good ... I like it... but Ralph will make sure IT GETS DONE.

We won't change South Carolina until we change who we send to Columbia. Lawyer-legislators pick judges they later appear before. Not on my watch. As governor, I'll restore law and order, root out corruption, and bring accountability back to state government. I will be the law-and-order governor. Put me in charge, South Carolina.

@PamelaEvette @realDonaldTrump I believe you will be Trumps 2nd endorsement loss. He should have looked at Ralph's record and used it to make a decision on endorsement.

I appreciate the kind words from President @realDonaldTrump and am thankful for his "complete and total endorsement." Together, we will continue to lead South Carolina on a path of prosperity and strength.

@RomReddySC Your stance on fixing our Judicial System is a good one. But I voted for RALPH... because he knows how to GET IT DONE in SC's State House.

I stand with the Move Silfab parents and everybody in York County who has stood up against weaponized government for the last two years. For those of you unfamilliar with the the Move Silfab movement, a Canadian-owned solar panel and solar cell factory with 15,850 gallons of hydrofluoric acid, 26,456 pounds of explosive silane, 44,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia, and more than a dozen other toxic chemicals was permitted for construction in a light industrial zoned plot next to an elementary school in Fort Mill. The circumstances which led to the factory's construciton, which has been tragic for the families directly impacted, are also a case study in South Carolina's horrific "economic development" dealmaking that I will put an end to as governor. In September 2023, the York County Council, in a  4–3 vote gave Silfab a Fee-in-Lieu-of-Taxes (FILOT) agreement, cutting their property tax bill for years. The state piled on another $2 million in incentives on top. They extended this offer before anyone had confirmed the zoning was even legal. In May 2024, York County's own Board of Zoning Appeals ruled 5–0 that Silfab's heavy manufacturing isn't allowed in a Light Industrial zone. Despite this, In July 2024, the county started issuing permits anyway. Upfit permits. New construction permits. Chemical storage bunkers. A wastewater treatment facility. When two council members tried twice to get this on the agenda, which York County Code § 30.04(b) requires, they were blocked. On February 13, 2026, the county issued a Certificate of Occupancy with no Zoning Compliance approval. The result was predictable. In March 2026, a hydrofluoric acid leak that closed Flint Hill Elementary for two days and sent hazmat crews rushing to remediate environmental damage. This fact pattern shows why we must exercise judgement in who we elect. While county officials were paving the way locally, the man who represents that district in Washington, Congressman Ralph Norman, was paving the way federally. Ralph Norman co-founded the Bipartisan Congressional Solar Caucus in 2018. He's co-chaired it ever since. It's the only caucus in Congress dedicated to promoting the solar industry. He sits on the House Budget Committee, which is exactly the committee the solar lobby targets. The solar lobby spent $1.87 million on Capitol Hill in 2024 alone. On May 13, 2025, Silfab announced it had sold $110 million in federal solar manufacturing tax credits, the same 45X credits that make this whole boondoggle economically viable. Nine days later, Ralph Norman cast the deciding vote on a bill that preserved those credits for solar manufacturers like Silfab, even as he stood in front of TV cameras calling green energy subsidies "the Green New Scam." The bill passed 215 to 214. He had voted no in committee. He flipped to yes on the floor. One vote. The credit lived. Norman advocated for the local FILOT agreement saying during his August 27, 2024 congressional fourm saying "I talked to [York County] council members when they asked my support for the [Silfab’s] fee in lieu and I agreed with that, so they wanted me to call people, so yes…people called me and said they may have trouble getting their [Silfab’s] fee in lieu – I said, ‘that’s not right’ – I make calls at time if they ask me to. Somebody said call somebody, so I did that.” You can't be the loudest critic of the "Green New Scam" and the most reliable advocate to keep it funded at the federal and local levels. Then, eighteen days after Flint Hill Elementary closed because of a chemical leak at the very plant his vote helped subsidize, Ralph Norman launched a TV ad calling other people "crooks." This is exactly the problem with the political ruling class in this state. Local officials look the other way for the developers. Career congressmen vote to keep the federal money flowing for the donors. And then they put on a costume at election time and pretend they're running against the system they built. I am not part of that system. I have never taken a dollar from any of these people. I am self-funding this race because I owe nothing to the donor class, nothing to the solar lobby, nothing to the cronies who let this happen. As your next Governor, here is what I will do. I will enforce the law. The actual law. The zoning code as written. If a county refuses to follow its own ordinances and a Board of Zoning Appeals decision, I will use every lever the state has, including state funding, until they comply. No more selective enforcement for your cronies. No more boondoggle "economic development" deals where the state hands a foreign manufacturer a sweetheart site and the citizens get the chemicals.  I will make South Carolina a state businesses want to come to (without a taxpayer subsidy.) I am giving the citizen a second lane.  One lane has built this problem and ignored your cries for help, the other will put a swift end to these bad deals. The political ruling class has had two years to fix this and they haven't, but if you elect me to office, I will.

@joekent16jan19 @MarkLynchSC what a freekin joke... name ONE THING Lynch has done that compares to the legacy of L Graham's tenure? not one thing he's done shows me he could run a barbecue much less be a senator.

South Carolina! On Tuesday June 9th dump Lindsey Graham & vote for Mark Lynch @MarkLynchSC ! Mark Lynch is the America First fighter South Carolina needs in the U.S. Senate. He has built a successful business, created jobs, signed the front of a paycheck, and lived the values that Washington politicians only talk about. Mark understands that our country needs secure borders, a strong economy, a serious foreign policy, and leaders who put American citizens first. Lindsey Graham has had decades in Washington, and the results speak for themselves. South Carolina deserves a senator who will stand with President Trump, fight for working families, defend our freedoms, and take on the political establishment. I am proud to endorse Mark Lynch for U.S. Senate.

@PamelaEvette Sorry... I don't believe you AT ALL. We have criminals with over 20 convictions WALKING AROUND FREE because YOU (and the SC Legislature) did NOTHING to reel in STUPID DEI JUDGES when they let these criminals go free day after day.

My dad always told us: "Elections have consequences." As I've been crisscrossing the state this week and talking with voters, the momentum is shifting. South Carolina is booming, and we can't afford to have a weak-kneed, career politician as our next governor -- there's too much at stake.

@MarkLynchSC Lindsey Graham 100%. Mark Lynch is a bafoon and will be a complete disgrace to anyone that votes for him.

Honored to be endorsed by Joe Kent. Joe was Trump's pick for Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center in his second administration.

@OcrazioCornPop Lindsey is better than the candidates running against him BY FAR. Put up a good candidate and I'll rethink my LG vote.

🚨 SOUTH CAROLINA: How does Lindsey Graham get BOOED for 6 minutes straight at a Trump rally and continue to win Primary AND General Elections... The math doesn’t add up. Is it machine politics, low turnout, fraud, or something weird about South Carolinians? PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE IN AMERICA! Who is voting for him?

@BradyClaire13 Check out RALPH NORMAN's Five Year History here on 'X'.... case closed. He's the man.

Translation: no Pam Evette thinks she’s too good for debates and doesn’t have to answer questions. Why?

@PamelaEvette @realDonaldTrump Nope. I voted for RALPH yesterday. DEI: DISCIPLINE - EXCELLENCE - INTEGRITY You either get it or you don't.

President @realDonaldTrump endorsed me because, like him, I spent most of my life in business. He knows I have the courage, the wisdom, and the experience to deliver strong results for both the people of South Carolina and the America First agenda. As governor, I'll: ✅ ELIMINATE the State Income Tax ✅ SLASH Property Taxes ✅ ALWAYS put South Carolina First We're less than 5 days from the primary and early voting is still open through tomorrow from 8:30 AM-5:00 PM. Support President Trump and Vote Evette when you head to the polls! 🇺🇸

About to speak on the Senate floor before we start the vote-a-rama for the Secure America Act. LIVE: senate.gov/legislative/fl…

Idk what this is, but it’s not from South Carolina.

Suicidal empathy is akin to having a parasite eating away at your brain. The west is not winning this war. Our strategy must change if we want to survive.

@GenFlynn Saad's book SUICIDAL EMPATHY explains EXACTLY WHY the Democrats are Evil and Over-the-Top STUPID!

@BradyClaire13 Ralph Norman should win this primary. All you have to do is read all his 'X' Posts for the past 5 years and you'll see why he is, by far, the best GOP candidate on the ballot.

Why is Pam Evette so terrified to answer questions? Pam Evette skipped all but one debate. She debated less than every single other candidate for Governor. Now she's gearing up to skip a runoff debate. What is she hiding?
