Rep. Nancy Mace responded with 'LMAO' to President Donald Trump's decision to endorse both Republican candidates, Pam Evette and Alan Wilson, in South Carolina's gubernatorial runoff.
The reaction highlights the complex and sometimes contradictory nature of political endorsements, particularly within the Republican party, and signals potential internal party dynamics ahead of future elections.
Rep. Nancy Mace humorously reacted to President Donald Trump's decision to endorse both Republican candidates vying for the South Carolina governorship. Trump issued a rare dual endorsement for Lt. Gov. Pam Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson, who are headed for a runoff election.
Mace, who also ran for governor this year but did not advance to the runoff, responded to Trump's Truth Social post on X with the abbreviation 'LMAO,' signifying 'laughing my a-- off.'
Trump explained his decision on Truth Social, stating, 'I can’t hurt one of them by only Endorsing the other, so therefore, I am going to Endorse, for Governor of South Carolina, both Pam Evette and Alan Wilson!' He added, 'It’s a Wealth of Riches – With either one you can’t go wrong.'
Evette secured 29% of the vote in the primary, while Wilson also advanced. Mace garnered 12.23% of the vote, placing fifth in the Republican primary.
