Nancy Lacore, a retired Navy vice admiral who was fired by Pete Hegseth, and Mac Deford, a local attorney, advanced to a runoff election on Tuesday evening amid a crowded Democratic primary to fill a congressional vacancy left behind by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.
Because no candidate garnered more than 50% of the vote needed to win outright, the primary now heads to a runoff that's slated to take place on June 23.
Once having cleared the primary, the final candidate will look to become just the second Democrat to hold South Carolina's 1st Congressional District in over 40 years by highlighting her military record as well as how she was removed from her post by War Secretary Pete Hegseth.
