Nancy Mace (R-SC) maintains a slim lead on her Trump-endorsed Republican primary challenger, former South Carolina state Rep. Katie Arrington, in a new poll.<\/p>\n<p>Mace, criticized by President Donald Trump for certifying the 2020 election, earns 46% of the vote in the Palmetto State&#8217;s Charleston-anchored 1st Congressional District, <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrafalgargroup.org\/news\/sc-01-gop-0601\/\">according to the Trafalgar Group poll published Wednesday<\/a>. In comparison, Arrington amasses 41%. Another 13% remain undecided two weeks before their June 14 primary.<\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/white-house-crows-about-spending-while-not-calling-inflation-a-crisis\">WHITE HOUSE CROWS ABOUT SPENDING WHILE NOT CALLING INFLATION A &#8216;CRISIS&#8217;<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"WfnZhW70i0\"><p>\n              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrafalgargroup.org\/news\/sc-01-gop-0601\/\">SC-01 GOP May 2022<\/a>\n             <\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The poll, conducted among 556 likely Republican primary voters from May 26-29, has a margin of error of 4 percentage points. But the survey reflects the fluidity of the Trump-defined race and points to the prospect of a run-off contest.<\/p>\n<p>Arrington previously primaried a sitting congressman, then-Rep. Mark Sanford, a former governor, in 2018. Yet she lost the general election to Democrat Joe Cunningham, in part because of her off-shore drilling policy positions. Republicans relinquished the district to Democrats for the first time in 40 years. Mace went on to unseat Cunningham in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Arrington has attacked Mace&#8217;s more centrist Republican tendencies, contending at their only debate last month that Mace has &#8220;read the room wrong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is not what we sent her up to Washington to do,&#8221; Arrington said. &#8220;We sent Rep. Mace because she was Trump-endorsed and said she was America first. And the moment that she got up there, she turned her back on us and then she turned her back on President Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mace has focused on whether Arrington is electable, arguing the district wants a lawmaker who recognizes it &#8220;marches to the beat of its own drum.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m the only candidate up here who knows how to beat a Democrat in this day and age in this district,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I promised that I would work hard, I promised to be an independent voice, and I promised not to tow the party line when they taxed too much and spent too much in this country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHARLESTON, South Carolina \u2014 Incumbent Rep.
