On May 25, the Alliance Party, which is ballot-qualified in South Carolina, nominated Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., for president. In 2020 the party had nominated Rocky De La Fuente for president. In 2016 it had nominated Peter Skewes for president. When the party first qualified in 2016, it was named the American Party, but in 2018 had changed its name to the Alliance Party.
South Carolina has more ballot-qualified parties than any state except Florida. Although the petition requirement to create a new party in South Carolina is not easy, the retention law is very easy. A party can stay on the ballot indefinitely as long as it nominates at least one candidate for any partisan office every four years.
