Nancy Mace Rules Out Bid For Lindsey Graham's Senate Seat
Mace confirmed the decision in an X video posted July 20, as Ralph Norman and Graham's sister vie for the open seat.
- Her exact words: 'I'm not running for the U.S. Senate,' she said.
- Mace represents South Carolina's 1st Congressional District in the US House.
- Graham's Senate seat opened after his death, drawing a crowded GOP primary field.
Why it matters: Stepping back from a crowded primary is a wager on odds, not a statement of principle.
