The 2020 United States presidential election in South Carolina was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, as part of the 2020 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated.[2] South Carolina voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote, pitting the Republican Party's nominee, incumbent President Donald Trump, and running mate Vice President Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, and his running mate California Senator Kamala Harris. South Carolina has nine electoral votes in the Electoral College.[3]

Trump carried South Carolina by a margin of 11.68%, down from his 14.27% margin four years earlier. Prior to this election, all 12 news organizations considered this a state Trump would win, or a red state.

Analysis[]

South Carolina—a Deep Southern Bible Belt state that was once part of the conservative, Democratic Solid South—has had a Republican tendency since 1964 due to white South Carolinians' distaste for civil rights legislation. This has been further cemented by Richard Nixon's Southern strategy, the only exception has been made for Jimmy Carter of neighboring Georgia in 1976. It is the most conservative state on the East Coast of the United States,[4] but not as conservative as other Deep Southern states (with the exception of the recently more competitive Georgia) due to its sizeable African-American population[5] and populous urban areas of Richland County and Charleston County, both of which have steadily trended more Democratic in the 21st century.

Trump performed somewhat better than polls anticipated, as aggregate polls averaged him only 7 points ahead of Biden.[6] In addition, he flipped Clarendon County for the first time since 1972 and Dillon County for the first time since 1988.[citation needed] Biden became the first democrat since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 to win without Clarendon County and the first Democrat since Harry S. Truman to win without Dillon County.

Per exit polls by the Associated Press, Trump's strength in the Palmetto State came from White, born-again/Evangelical Christians, who supported Trump by 87%–9%. South Carolina is entirely in the Bible Belt. As is the case in many Southern states, there was a stark racial divide in voting for this election: White South Carolinians supported Trump by 69%–29%, while Black South Carolinians supported Biden by 92%–7%.[7]

In other elections, longtime Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham won another term in the United States Senate by 10.27 percentage points over Democrat Jaime Harrison. While Harrison also lost by a double-digit margin, he still slightly outperformed Biden.

This is the first time since 1992 that South Carolina and Georgia did not vote for the same presidential candidate—in 1992, Georgia voted for the victorious Democratic Party challenger, Bill Clinton, while South Carolina voted to re-elect the Republican president, George H. W. Bush. In addition, South Carolina was the only East Coast state in 2020 to vote Republican by a double-digit margin.[8]

Primary elections[]

Canceled Republican primary[]

On September 7, 2019, the South Carolina Republican Party became one of several state GOP affiliates to cancel their respective primaries and caucuses officially.[9] Donald Trump's re-election campaign and GOP officials have cited the fact that Republicans canceled several state primaries when George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush sought second terms in 1992 and 2004, respectively, and Democrats scrapped some of their primaries when Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were seeking re-election in 1996 and 2012, respectively.[10][11]

In response to the cancellation, former U.S. Representative Bob Inglis and another South Carolina Republican voter filed a lawsuit against the South Carolina Republican Party on grounds that it denied their right to vote. On December 11, 2019, a state court judge dismissed the lawsuit, writing in his opinion that the law "does not give plaintiffs a legal right to presidential preference primary".[12] Thus at the South Carolina State Republican Convention in May 2020, the state party will formally bind all 50 of its national pledged delegates to Trump.[13]

Democratic primary[]

The South Carolina Democratic primary was held on February 29, 2020.
