Summary
Nancy Lacore, a former Navy admiral fired by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, advanced to a Democratic runoff in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, where she will face Mac Deford on June 23.
More than $1.4 million raised through late May has made Lacore an unusually well-funded first-time candidate; she collected $500,000 in her first two weeks.
The runoff winner will try to capture an open seat after Republican Nancy Mace ran for governor instead of seeking re-election.
South Carolina’s coastal 1st District remains a difficult target for Democrats after a 2021 redraw made it more reliably Republican, and Mace won her last two House races by double digits.
