COLUMBIA, S.C.: Lt. Gov. Henry McMaster has enlisted help in taking over as governor if the U.S. Senate confirms Gov. Nikki Haley as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for United Nations ambassador.
McMaster’s office said in a release he’s asked longtime GOP adviser Ed McMullen and real estate developer Bill Stern to help with the transition.
McMullen led Trump’s campaign in South Carolina and is a vice chairman of the committee planning Trump’s inauguration.
Stern, the longtime former chairman of the State Ports Authority, also was a leader in Trump’s campaign.
McMaster was the nation’s first statewide officeholder to endorse Trump, whose pick for U.N. ambassador gives McMaster a job he’s long wanted. The state’s former GOP chairman and two-term attorney general lost to Haley in the 2010 GOP gubernatorial primary. -AP
