COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Sheri Biggs, a nurse practitioner and Air National Guard officer, won the Republican nomination for the U.S. House in South Carolina’s 3rd District on Tuesday, defeating a challenger who called himself former President Donald Trump’s pastor.
In November, Biggs will be a heavy favorite in the most Republican district in GOP-dominated South Carolina. She was backed by Republican Gov. Henry McMaster, who she and her husband have been longtime friends and financial backers.
Biggs defeated Mark Burns, a Black pastor who has been by Trump’s side for nearly a decade and has unsuccessfully run for Congress twice before.
This was Biggs’ first run for political office and if she wins in November, she will be only the second Republican woman South Carolina has sent to Congress. U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace is still serving for the 1st District.
Biggs said Tuesday evening that she will help heal the nation’s mental, fiscal, and spiritual problems and promised to defend conservative values.
“I stand here ready to not only win this seat in November but also to help President Trump win back the White House,” Biggs said in a statement on social media.

As best as I can make out, yesterday wasn’t a stellar day for MAGA candidates. ....
*********
Open primaries?
Sounds like Biggs was the best candidate to me. The Trump backed candidate lost twice in the past. Not a good sign.
Seems like Colorado did pretty good MAGA-wise.
Exactly!
Biggs is a Deep State phony. Perfect for SC.
Trump sided with another candidate that could not win.
Sheri Biggs’s District needs a MAGA injection of Newcomers to help them see the political reality.
That is sometimes a deal breaker for me.
It used to be that politics was about a political party nominating their best candidate for a government job.
The citizens would then vote for the best candidate.
The best candidate was the person who would get the most efficient and effective use out of every hard earned Taxpayer dollar.
I don’t think that Democrats crossing over to vote for weak Republican candidates supports the reason for voting.
It displays an arrogance and disregard for rules that destroys voting.
If the Democrat candidate is so good (everyone recognizes that the candidate will get the most efficient and effective use out of every hard-earned American Taxpayer dollar) then that person will surely be elected to the government job.
These kind of tricks are only necessary because the Democrats don’t run their best candidates.
When was the last time a Democrat candidate governed by trying to get the most efficient and effective use out of every hard-earned American Taxpayer dollar?
All they do is hand out money to their fellow criminals while stealing for themselves.
It’s South Carolina no surprise it’s left most of the tine on everything.
The Democrat party has abandoned its traditional role as the party of the little guy and the blue collar, “Joe six pack” working class stiff and become the party of the Bi Coastal Elite, far left Woke progressives, liberal college grads, Marxists, abortion and other radical single issue activists, old style corrupt Democrat machine pols, bat shit crazy DEI and LGBTQ+ zealots, anti Semites, union members of mostly teacher and government worker unions , illegal aliens and a coalition of Democrat manufactured coalition of subgroups (including illegal aliens) who make up a permanent underclass totally dependent upon government welfare and social programs
This Democrat party re alignment is driving away traditional blue collar, working class people, professionals, small business people , members of Americas shrinking normal majority, Jewish people and even some of the more rational members of the Democrat elite and causing them to leave the party.
They along with like minded moderate and independents who are learning they can no longer sit on the sidelines and watch the Democrats run the country into the ground are looking to either ally with or even join the Republican Party which is good for the country but bad for the same Republican establishment that went all in to destroy the TEA Party movement to protect their personal political power and vested interests MAGA is an even greater threat to the increasingly corrupt Republican establishment and the Republican establishment will fight this realignment to protect their political power and globalist financial interests
She won with anti-gun NYC billionaire Bloomberg money. In the areas that were well informed of that fact she was losing by 20%.
