Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) conceded her bid for South Carolina governor after finishing fifth in the primary and endorsed state Attorney General Alan Wilson, her former rival. Mace and Wilson have had a contentious history, with Mace previously accusing Wilson of conducting a political 'hit job' against her campaign. However, Mace stated on Tuesday that they have 'buried the hatchet' and expressed her support for Wilson in his runoff against Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette. Mace received just over 12% of the vote, trailing Wilson by 14.1 percentage points and Evette by 17.2 percentage points. Mace acknowledged that her decision to support the release of Epstein files may have affected her campaign, but she stood by her principles. Mace's endorsement marks a shift in their relationship as they prepare for the June 23 runoff, where Wilson will compete for the Republican nomination against Evette, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
