Rep. Nancy Mace considering Senate run to replace Sen. Lindsey Graham after his sudden death: sources
2026-07-13
[NY Post] That didn't take long. Parasites alight
Lindsey might have predicted such behavior.
Firebrand Rep. Nancy Mace is “strongly” considering a bid for late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s now-vacant seat, two sources confirmed to The Post.

Mace (R-SC), who finished in fifth place in the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary last month, is keeping her options open and exploring the viability of a potential last-minute Senate campaign.Graham (R-SC) died suddenly Saturday evening after “a brief and sudden illness,” according to his office. He was up for reelection this year and was favored to win after prevailing in the GOP primary last month.

Due to losing her primary, Mace is set to depart the House next January. She still has some $185,000 cash on hand left in her federal campaign account, according to the latest Federal Election Commission filings.

The congresswoman — who has a history of making wild accusations and statements — ran against Graham in his 2014 GOP primary for reelection, but finished in fifth place.

After losing her primary, Mace initially teased plans to make a return to the private sector. She had alienated President Trump by backing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, among other issues.

Trump, who backed South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette (R) before also endorsing Attorney General Alan Wilson (R), who went on to win the runoff in the governor’s race, indicated that he has someone in mind whom he’d like to succeed Graham.

“I have somebody that I think would be great,” Trump told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday.
