CNN analyst Harry Enten cited prediction-market data putting Nancy Mace’s odds of winning the Republican Senate nomination in the single digits. The report follows Mace’s hint that she may run for the seat left vacant by Lindsey Graham’s death.
After Mace’s defeat in a gubernatorial bid, she hinted at running for the Senate seat left vacant by Graham’s death. South Carolina’s governor will appoint an interim replacement, followed by a Republican primary and a November general election, according to the article.
On CNN, Enten cited Kalshi Prediction Market data showing Mace at 4% to win the Republican nomination. He attributed the low odds in part to her poor performance with South Carolina Republican primary voters in the recent gubernatorial race.
