SC-01: Navy admiral fired by Hegseth advances to runoff in Democratic primary for Mace seat [View all]
Nancy Lacore, a three-star admiral that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired last year, is projected head to a runoff against veteran Mac Deford in the Democratic primary for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Lacore and Deford defeated a group of Democrats in the district, which stretches along the southeast coast of the Palmetto State, and will head to a June 23 runoff.
The winner of the November general election will succeed Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who ran for governor. The GOP primary for the House seat is also expected to head to a runoff.
During more than three decades of service in the Navy, Lacore rose from a pilot to vice admiral and served as chief of the Navy Reserve for more than a year. However, Hegseth removed her and dozens of other military leaders in August.
