Trader consensus in the SC-01 Republican primary tilts toward Mark Smith at 43.5% implied probability, driven by his edge in recent polls and fundraising as South Carolina House Majority Leader, while Alex Pelbath trails closely at 34% on business credentials and momentum from conservative donors. The tight contest persists amid fragmented endorsements—no single heavyweight like Trump has tipped the scales—and divided GOP factions boosting underdogs like Sam McCown at 13.5%. A late Winthrop University survey showed Smith leading 41-33%, but volatility lingers with low name recognition for others. Upcoming debates or a high-profile endorsement could widen gaps before the June 11 ballot, as traders price in these pivotal shifts.
