Enveloped by temperatures that topped 100 with a heat index of 110, South Carolina voters headed to the polls on June 14 to determine who will advance past the primary.

Two races have generated significant national media attention. The Republican Congressional primaries in the neighboring First and Seventh Congressional Districts feature incumbents Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.). Former president Donald Trump is determined to unseat both of the incumbents with his endorsed candidates, Katie Arrington and state Rep. Russell Fry.
