Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) stated that President Donald Trump’s endorsement of her opponent, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, has not significantly boosted Evette’s standing with conservative voters in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary. Mace, who is also running in the primary, said she wasn’t surprised by Trump’s endorsement, citing her vote to release files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mace predicted a runoff and expressed confidence in her own campaign.
