Former president Donald Trump on Tuesday endorsed Drew McKissick for another term as chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party as he faces a challenge from conservative attorney L. Lin Wood. In a statement, Trump said McKissick has done an outstanding job, “electing more Republicans in 2020 than in over 140 years. … Drew has my complete and total endorsement for reelection.”McKissick was elected chairman in May 2017. Wood, who worked on some of the unsuccessful post-presidential election lawsuits, said Monday that he is trying to unseat McKissick. Wood told The Post last month that he had not moved out of Georgia before the election and filed paperwork in February to make the South Carolina property he bought in April his official residence.
