Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday endorsed former South Carolina lawmaker Katie Arrington over first-term Rep. Nancy Mace in a GOP primary that tests his heft in the state.
Arrington called Mace “a sellout” who “is more interested in being a mainstream media celebrity than fighting for the people she is supposed to represent.”
Arrington went on to narrowly lose to newcomer Joe Cunningham, a Democrat who flipped the district from red to blue for the first time in decades. At the time,for her loss and vowed to seek the seat again. In his statement Wednesday, Trump referenced a car crash in which Arrington was injured ahead of the general election, saying it “made it very difficult for her to campaign.”
“Yeah, I do believe it was stolen,” Arrington said Tuesday when asked about the election. She added that she felt Joe Biden had been “duly elected” president, but only because members of Congress had been too hasty to certify the election results, rather than send them to states for audit.
