Trump Traitor Jumps To Take Advantage Of Lindsey’s Death

By

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) is weighing a campaign for the U.S. Senate following the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, according to a person familiar with her thinking.

When asked whether Mace was interested in seeking the seat, the source responded with the phrase “YOLO,” suggesting she is seriously considering entering the race. Mace is expected to conduct polling this week to gauge her support among Republican primary voters.

Graham, who died following a brief illness, had already secured the Republican nomination for reelection. Under South Carolina law, candidates have until July 21 to file for the special Republican primary to replace him on the ballot. The primary is scheduled for Aug. 11, with a runoff, if necessary, on Aug. 25.

Separately, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster will appoint an interim senator to serve the remainder of Graham’s current term through Jan. 3 while voters select a permanent replacement.

Mace recently ended her campaign for governor after finishing fifth in the Republican primary with about 12% of the vote. Following the election, she suggested her support for releasing files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein contributed to her defeat, saying the issue created tension with President Donald Trump.

Trump had endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette in the governor’s race, though she ultimately lost the Republican nomination to South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson.

Because Mace ran for governor rather than seeking reelection to the House, she is scheduled to leave Congress when her current term ends. On Sunday, she posted a clip from The Godfather Part III on social media featuring the famous line, “Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in,” fueling speculation about a possible Senate campaign.

In a separate statement, Mace paid tribute to Graham, praising his decades of public service while acknowledging they did not always agree on policy.

Meanwhile, reports indicated that Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) had also considered seeking an appointment to Graham’s seat before deciding against it. After speaking with Trump, Wilson announced he would remain in the House, citing the importance of preserving the Republican majority in the chamber.

President Trump also confirmed Sunday that he has someone in mind to replace Graham but said he was not ready to discuss potential candidates so soon after the senator’s death. Trump instead focused on honoring Graham’s legacy and praised Gov. McMaster during his remarks.
