Nikki Haley Says Mace "Was Never a Factor" After 5th-Place Finish in SC GOP Primary
Nancy Mace took about 12% of the vote, leaving her fifth in a race that again raised questions about her next move.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace finished fifth in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary with 12.1% of the vote, failing to advance to the runoff.
- Despite her national profile, Mace's campaign struggled in a crowded field, while President Donald Trump's endorsement helped Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette secure a runoff spot.
- Rep. Ralph Norman and other House members also lost primary bids this year, as strategists suggest anti-establishment sentiment and demands for "new blood" have made congressional experience a liability.
- "This isn't the end of the fight, but it is the end of a chapter," Mace said in her concession speech, confirming she will leave Congress at the end of the year.
- With no candidate surpassing 50% of the vote, Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson will advance to a June 23 runoff, with the winner favored in the general election.
