Republican who ousted Sanford making another run at SC seat
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Katie Arrington — the South Carolina Republican who ousted Rep. Mark Sanford in a 2018 GOP primary, only to lose in the general election — is now mounting a primary challenge to the seat's current occupant, saying Tuesday she's hopeful she'll again secure backing from Donald Trump.
She said she “made mistakes” in her prior run but is confident she will win this time.
“I don't make the same mistake twice,” Arrington told The Associated Press on Tuesday, announcing her primary challenge of first-term Republican Rep. Nancy Mace. “I’m very sure that we’ll win this race.”
In a launch video, 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.” Referencing some of Mace’s recent legislative efforts, including bills to protect large cats and legalize marijuana, Arrington then asked, “Is Nancy Mace high?”
