Nancy Mace declina postularse al escaño del Senado de Lindsey Graham

La representante Nancy Mace anunció el lunes que no buscará el escaño del Senado por Carolina del Sur que ocupaba el fallecido senador Lindsey Graham. Su decisión despeja el camino para la hermana de Graham, Darline Graham Nordone, quien entró en la contienda el mismo día con el respaldo del presidente Donald Trump.

Mace, republicana, hizo el anuncio en una declaración en video. "No me postularé al Senado de los Estados Unidos, no porque me esté retirando de una lucha, sino porque la que ya estoy librando es importante en este momento", dijo.

Nordone confirmó su candidatura en una entrevista con el presentador de Fox News, Sean Hannity. "Estoy dentro", dijo, citando el apoyo de su familia y sus décadas de servicio público en el estado. Trump la respaldó anteriormente, publicando "¡CORRE, DARLINE, CORRE!" en Truth Social y elogiándola como "una persona espectacular y una verdadera patriota estadounidense".

Las primarias republicanas especiales están programadas para el 11 de agosto, con una segunda vuelta fijada para el 25 de agosto si fuera necesario. Otros republicanos, incluidos los representantes Russell Fry y Ralph Norman, también han entrado en la carrera. El escaño es considerado sólidamente republicano por el Cook Political Report.
