Mace Opts Out of SC Senate Run, Keeps Focus on House

Rep. Nancy Mace said she will not run for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s U.S. Senate seat, choosing to stay focused on her current duties after a disappointing bid in the governor’s race. The South Carolina race to succeed Graham features his sister Darline Graham, who has Trump’s endorsement, and other GOP contenders like Russell Fry and Ralph Norman; the special primary opens filing soon with Aug. 11 voting and a runoff if needed, setting the stage for a November full-term contest.
