With the June 9 Democratic primary for South Carolina’s 5th Congressional District just days away and early voting already underway, trader consensus assigns Mallory Dittmer an 85.5% implied probability of securing the nomination over Andrew Clough. The open seat, vacated by longtime Republican Representative Ralph Norman’s gubernatorial bid, features a straightforward two-candidate contest in a district with limited recent Democratic infrastructure. Dittmer’s earlier campaign launch, focus on education and local coalitions, and sustained visibility have positioned her as the frontrunner in the eyes of prediction-market participants. Clough, emphasizing working-class economic concerns, trails in current pricing despite active outreach. No major late developments have altered the race dynamics within the past month, leaving the outcome dependent on turnout among Democratic primary voters in the coming week.
