“Rep. Nancy Mace says she is fighting a lonely battle. She faces a tough Republican primary challenge, with outside groups tied to former Speaker Kevin McCarthy trying to remove the lawmaker from her seat representing South Carolina’s low country,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Mace’s contest Tuesday will test whether the 46-year-old’s colorful persona and unorthodox policy stances still resonate with Charleston, S.C.-area voters, after a bruising year in which she joined with GOP rebels to oust their leader while also grappling with personal and professional turmoil. A deep-pocketed group switched its allegiance to her opponent, and the state’s longest-serving GOP lawmaker declined to back her.”
Said Mace: “I owe Washington nothing. They left me out to dry, and I’m going to be stronger for it.”
