**Joe Wilson maintains a dominant position in the SC-02 House race due to his long incumbency since 2001, strong Republican primary performance with 74% of the vote, and the district’s consistent Solid Republican ratings from forecasters including Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball.** Zyon Khalifa, the Democratic nominee who prevailed in a June runoff, brings limited name recognition and fundraising as a political newcomer and Air Force veteran.

Minor third-party presence and low Democratic baseline support further anchor the probabilities.
