The June 14 Republican primary in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District pits incumbent Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), a candidate Donald Trump supported in 2020, against former state Rep. Katie Arrington, who has the former president’s endorsement.

Republicans are focused on regaining control of the House by flipping seats, but the party’s faction that embraces Trump’s “America First” platform is committed to replacing representatives whose track record is not friendly to the former president.
