Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican congresswoman from South Carolina, faced a significant setback in her political career. In the state’s GOP gubernatorial primary, she placed fifth, according to unofficial results. Even her own home county and district did not support her, marking a clear defeat.

This outcome reflects a turning point for Mace, who had previously gained national attention through a dramatic change in her political stance. Once considered a rising star within the GOP, her loss in this primary signals a challenging political landscape ahead.
