SC-01: Navy admiral (D) removed by Hegseth faces off against Charleston councilwoman (R) for Mace seat
Democrat Nancy Lacore and Republican Jenny Honeycutt are projected to win their respective primary runoffs and face off in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District this November, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Lacore, a three-star admiral that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired last year, defeated Mac Deford, a U.S. Coast Guard veteran and former general counsel of Hilton Head Island, S.C., in the Democratic runoff.
Honeycutt, a member of the Charleston County Council since 2018, defeated state Rep. Mark Smith (R-S.C.) in the GOP runoff.
Lacore and Honeycutt will square off in the race to succeed Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) in the House. Mace came up short in her bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in the Palmetto State earlier this month.
