David Pascoe is running for Attorney General of South Carolina in the 2026 Republican primary. Currently serving as the First Circuit Solicitor since 2005, Pascoe gained prominence overseeing a corruption probe that secured convictions against five powerful state legislators. Originally a Democrat, he switched to the Republican Party in April 2025 to pursue the Attorney General seat. He has faced criticism from Donald Trump, who labeled him a "RINO" and "total fraud" due to his past endorsement of Joe Biden. Pascoe defends himself as "the anti-corruption prosecutor."
