McMaster is seeking his first elected term in office as governor after he was promoted to the position when Nikki Haley joined President Trump's cabinet in early 2017.

Speaking of the President, the Commander-in-Chief came to the Columbia area a day earlier to support McMaster's bid. It was a bit of a thank you to McMaster, who was the first statewide official in the Palmetto State to endorse Trump's presidential bid in 2016.
