Nancy Mace Says She Is Open to South Carolina Senate Run
Mace said she is focused on South Carolina but would consider a Senate bid as Republicans prepare a special primary for Graham's seat.
- Congresswoman Nancy Mace is "strongly considering" a run for the United States Senate seat left vacant by the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham, she confirmed on Sunday.

- Mace, who previously ran for the seat in 2014, said "I'm never gonna shut the door" and expressed willingness to serve if voters wanted her to.
- A special primary election scheduled for August 11 will determine the Republican nominee, who will face Democrat Annie Andrews in the November general election.
- During a Sunday appearance on "Meet the Press," President Donald Trump said he has a "great" person in mind to succeed Graham but noted it was "too soon" to reveal the choice.
