Nancy Mace Loses South Carolina Gubernatorial Primary

Nancy Mace finished fifth in South Carolina’s Republican gubernatorial primary. Left-leaning outlets foreground Sarah McBride’s mockery of Mace and criticism of her record on transgender issues, while Daily Kos links the loss to political costs for Republicans who challenge Trump over the Epstein files. Center outlets focus mainly on the results and runoff, with several highlighting Mace’s claim that her support for releasing the files cost her support. Right-leaning outlets split: one focuses on Democrats’ mockery and Mace’s response, while another portrays her defeat as a loss for South Carolina and praises her.
