South Carolina Republican Congressman Ralph Norman, a member of the House Rules Committee, recently discussed the political landscape in his state. The primary challenge faced by Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy, has garnered attention.
When asked about his support in the primary race, Congressman Norman stated that he had not publicly endorsed either candidate, Nancy Mace or Katherine Tempton. He emphasized that both candidates have their own merits, with Nancy Mace having a track record and Katherine Tempton boasting a record of service.
Norman clarified that he chose not to endorse a candidate in this race, opting instead to let the voters in the low country make their decision. He highlighted the diverse issues that are important to the region and expressed confidence in the voters' ability to choose the candidate who aligns with their priorities.
Regarding his decision not to endorse his colleague, Norman explained that he did not come out against Nancy Mace either. He emphasized his belief in allowing the democratic process to unfold and respecting the voters' choices.
Norman also mentioned his involvement in the Timmons-Morgan race, where he openly opposed William Timmons. However, he noted that Nancy Mace had chosen to remain neutral in that particular race.
