Cunningham, who previewed his pick last week for The Associated Press ahead of a formal rollout later Monday, Aug. 1, 2022 said that Casey's broad experience is the right match for the new generation of leadership he hopes to bring to South Carolina's top office. Cunningham planned to formally announce his pick later Monday.
