Watch: Mace holds first town hall after launching bid for SC governor

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) will kick off her town hall tour Wednesday evening, just days after launching a bid for governor.

Mace on Monday joined a crowded Republican primary field to succeed Gov. Henry McMaster (R), which includes Rep. Ralph Norman (S.C.), state Attorney General Alan Wilson, state Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and state Sen. Josh Kimbrell.

Mace has also pushed back against criticism of her bid, leaning into her relationship with President Trump and her aggressive stance on immigration and transgender rights, calling them “fights worth fighting for.”

“There’s nothing combative about wanting a bigger, better and brighter future for the entire state of South Carolina,” she told NewsNation on Monday evening.

According to her campaign, the “Mother of All Townhalls” will include a “no-holds-barred conversation.”

The event in Myrtle Beach, S.C., is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. EDT.
