Pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood failed in his bid to become chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, losing to incumbent Drew McKissick.

The chairman won a third term with 68 percent of the vote. Wood drew the second-most votes, collecting 239 to McKissick’s 582, the state GOP said on May 15. The two other challengers received just 37 votes combined.
