COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace has won the Republican nomination after a tumultuous second term in South Carolina that saw her go from a critic to ally of former President Donald Trump and make headlines for plenty of things off the House floor. Mace defeated challengers Catherine Templeton and Bill Young on Tuesday. Another incumbent, Republican U.S. Rep. William Timmons, won the 4th District nomination for his party in a tough fight. In the 3rd District, Trump-backed pastor Mark Burns will face Sheri Biggs, a nurse practitioner endorsed by Gov. Henry McMaster in a June 25 runoff for the Republican nomination.
