The South Carolina congresswoman’s crushing defeat got even worse when CNN struggled to find her on the results board. Nancy Mace’s disastrous bid for South Carolina governor produced one final indignity on live television.
As CNN analyzed Tuesday night’s Republican primary results, the network’s election team briefly appeared to forget the congresswoman was even in the race. While discussing the contest between South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson, CNN host Kaitlan Collins noted that Mace’s name was nowhere to be seen among the leading candidates.
“We’re looking at those top three people. I don’t see Nancy Mace’s name on that list,” Collins said to data analyst John King. The oversight prompted King to scroll further down the results board in search of the congresswoman.
“Nancy Mace...the congresswoman, Trump foe, at the bottom of the pack. ” Nancy Mace takes a selfie as President Donald Trump leaves the chamber after addressing a joint session of Congress. The moment quickly underscored just how badly Mace’s campaign had unraveled. With roughly two-thirds of ballots counted Tuesday night, Mace was polling at just 11.6 percent, well behind Evette and Wilson, who advanced to a runoff after neither candidate secured a majority.
The loss marked a stunning end to Mace’s political evolution from Trump critic to self-described “MAGA Mace”—a reinvention that ultimately failed to win his endorsement. Evette and Wilson will now advance to a Republican primary runoff after neither secured more than 50 percent of the vote. Mace, meanwhile, finished behind not only the two runoff contenders but also businessman Rom Reddy and state Sen. Josh Kimbrell.
