Nancy Mace jumps into South Carolina governor’s race

Rep. Nancy Mace on Monday officially launched her bid for governor of South Carolina, joining a competitive GOP primary to follow term-limited Gov. Henry McMaster.

“She’s a fighter, I know about that,” President Donald Trump said in a clip added to her campaign launch video.

Mace (R-S.C.), who has branded herself as a protector of women’s rights, will face Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, state Attorney General Alan Wilson and Rep. Ralph Norman in the primary.
