Nancy Mace's Unpredictable Career Is up in the Air After Finishing Last in South Carolina Primary

Mace said she has no regrets over backing release of the Epstein files as Trump’s endorsement helped shape the GOP primary race.

  • On Tuesday, South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace finished fifth in the gubernatorial primary, securing just over 12 percent of the vote after failing to secure President Donald Trump's endorsement.
  • Mace linked her defeat to a public break with Trump over her push to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, defying the president by signing a discharge petition to force a House vote.
  • Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina Pamela Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson will advance to a June 23 runoff after securing 28.9 percent and 26.2 percent respectively, with no candidate clearing 50 percent.
  • In an unexpected move, Mace endorsed Wilson on Tuesday night, stating she remains 'at peace' with the result and describing her focus on the files as a 'moral emergency.'
  • Having given up her House seat, Mace signaled no retreat from public life, with Politico reporting she may use her remaining months on Capitol Hill to potentially disrupt Trump's legislative agenda.
