Draft:Drew McKissick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Drew McKissick is an American politician currently serving as Chair of the South Carolina Republican Party. In 2023 he was re-elected to his fourth term in the office.[1]

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy floated McKissick's name as a replacement for national Republican Party Chair Ronna McDaniel.[2] [3] McKissick was a candidate for the national seat in January 2023.[4]

McKissick was widely quoted after the 2022 South Carolina general election produced what many news outlets called a 'red wave', with a number of Democratic Party legislators losing their seats, and Republicans gaining a super majority in the state legislature.[5]
