David Pascoe, a seasoned Democrat prosecutor in South Carolina, is set to make a significant announcement at a Republican party gathering this week. He will be appearing at the Dorchester County GOP meeting on Thursday to potentially reveal his decision to switch parties and seek the GOP nomination for attorney general of the state. Pascoe, a veteran prosecutor known for his work on the ProbeGate investigation into corruption at the State House, has retained political strategist Wesley Donehue to advise his campaign.
Despite previously being touted as a candidate for attorney general on the Democrat side, Pascoe seems to be pivoting towards the Republican party, as no Democrat has won a statewide election in South Carolina since 2006. Current attorney general Alan Wilson is expected to step down to campaign for governor, prompting a competitive race for the open seat. Other potential candidates include S.C. senator Stephen Goldfinch and S.C. eighth circuit solicitor David Stumbo.
Speculation also surrounds Creighton Waters, lead prosecutor in the high-profile murder trial of Alex Murdaugh, who has been watched internationally. Waters, however, is leaning against entering the race as a Republican candidate. The Dorchester County GOP meeting will serve as the platform for Pascoe’s announcement, with political observers eagerly waiting to hear his decision and monitor the evolving landscape of the attorney general race in South Carolina.
