Nancy Mace posted a photo with President Donald Trump meant to evoke support for her South Carolina gubernatorial bid, highlighting that she helped elect him in 2016. The move comes after Trump snubbed Mace in South carolina\u2019s Republican governor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-spike-in-florida-coronavirus-cases-despite-no-mask-mandate\/\" title=\"No Spike in Florida Coronavirus Cases Despite No Mask Mandate\">race<\/a> and instead endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, positioning Evette as the most loyal and noting her endorsement of him early in his 2024 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>South Carolina\u2019s GOP primary is set for June 9, where Mace faces Evette and several other candidates, including Ralph Norman, Attorney general Alan Wilson, Rom reddy, and state Sen. Josh kimbrell. Trump\u2019s endorsement did not mention Mace, and Evette also has backing from term-limited Gov.Henry McMaster, whose son is expected to be Evette\u2019s running mate.<\/p>\n<p>Mace said she still respects Trump but argued that South Carolina needs change. Hours before Trump endorsed Evette, Mace attacked Evette and McMaster Jr.\u2019s expected role as running mate, calling the pairing \u201cincestuous\u201d and sharing older posts from 2007. Mace claimed Trump\u2019s decision was linked to her signing a discharge petition that forced a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-christmas-present-for-you-gop-lawmakers-defy-president-trump-as-2000-checks-for-all-americans-fails-thanks-to-pelosis-tricks\/\" title=\"No Christmas Present for You! \u2013 GOP Lawmakers Defy President Trump as ,000 Checks for All Americans FAILS \u2013 Thanks to Pelosi...s Tricks\">house vote<\/a> to compel the DOJ to release the Epstein Files.<\/p>\n<p>Polling has Mace trailing in the GOP field, with Evette and Wilson leading-though an Evette-Wilson runoff is absolutely possible depending on how voting develops, especially given the impact of Trump\u2019s endorsements in prior Republican contests.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nancy-mace\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2548\">Nancy Mace<\/a> (R-SC) posted a photo on Monday of herself and President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a>, evoking a similar feel to that of an endorsement of her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-ny-gov-cuomo-may-be-prosecuted-over-sexual-misconduct-allegations\/\" title=\"Biden: NY ....
