The South Carolina primary (for office other than president) was held on June 10. In the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, the results are: Bob Conley 73,773; Michael Cone 72,790. All of the votes have been counted except some absentee and provisional ballots.
In May, Cone had been nominated by the Working Families Party as its US Senate candidate. The WFP had been hoping that Cone would also get the Democratic nomination. Now Cone will need to decide whether to remain on the general election race as the WFP nominee, even though he didn’t get the Democratic nomination.
Eugene Platt was nominated by the South Carolina Green Party (click my name) and the South Carolina Working Families Party in his race for the State House of Representatives.
He too lost his bid for the Democratic nod, and according to the Charleston Post and Courier, he is undecided as to plans for November.
None of the Democrats endorsed by the SC WFP appear to have won the Democratic primary:

Clay Middleton and Kiba Anderson could still possibly be the Dem nominees, since no one got a majority in the Democratic primary and a run-off will be held later this month.
