Democrat Nancy Lacore, a retired U.S. Navy admiral, is elected to represent South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, unseating Rep. Nancy Mace. The Associated Press calls the race for Lacore, who leads Republican challenger Jenny Costa Honeycutt with 99% of votes counted, according to the reporting provided.
The articles frame Lacore as a former Navy senior officer whose political candidacy follows her dismissal by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Multiple outlets describe the race as a potential flip in a district that Republicans have held, with coverage noting expectations or projections that shifted toward Lacore. One outlet also cites specific vote totals and when the race was called, while others rely on projections from election models or handicapper shifts rather than detailing full results.
