“...with 16 percent of voters who said they identified as Republicans while Wilson closely trailed at 15 percent.”
Democrats vote in Republican primaries too, in South Carolina (as every thread about Lindsey Graham never fails to mention).
I’d prefer Norman and Mace stay in Congress, along with Tim Burchett in Tennessee who is futilely running for Governor there against massively likely primary winner Marsha Blackburn.
Nancy Mace is great at her role. She does not have the temperament to become Governor (probably due to her past — she was the first female cadet at Citadel).
Instead, in state after state, the GOP takes a knee, and begs the Democratic Party, and state government, to set the rules.
