Summary
Nancy Mace plans to endorse Rep. Ralph Norman after opting out of South Carolina’s special Senate election, giving Norman a prominent in-state backer as filing opens for the Aug. 11 race.
Norman, who announced his bid over the weekend, is pitching himself as a “proven conservative fighter” and has also won endorsements from Sens. Rick Scott and Mike Lee tied to support for the SAVE America Act.
The endorsement puts Mace at odds with Donald Trump, who last week urged appointed Sen. Darline Graham to seek a full six-year term and has already backed her publicly.
Rep. Russell Fry is also entering the race, and Mace and Norman argue his dual candidacy could endanger House Republicans’ razor-thin majority if it triggers another special election.
