Rep. Nancy Mace Comments on Trump's Endorsement Ahead of SC Gubernatorial Primary

Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, stated in an interview with Fox News Digital that President Donald Trump's endorsement of her opponent, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, has not significantly improved Evette's support among conservative voters. Mace claimed that many grassroots Republicans are dissatisfied with Trump's endorsement, suggesting it resulted in only a slight increase in Evette's standing. Mace expressed her belief that the upcoming primary will be competitive, stating, "It’s a dog fight," and emphasized her commitment to her campaign. She noted that she was not surprised by Trump's decision to endorse Evette, linking it to her vote in Congress to release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Mace was one of four Republicans who advocated for the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Trump's endorsement of Evette came shortly before the June 9 primary, where multiple candidates, including Mace, are competing. If no candidate secures a majority, a runoff will occur between the top two finishers.
