HuffPost
The congresswoman has yet to secure President Donald Trump's endorsement but has made clear she will fight for his support.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) on Monday announced she is running for governor of South Carolina, joining a competitive field of GOP candidates to succeed outgoing Gov. Henry McMaster (R), who is term-limited.
In a speech at the Citadel military college in Charleston, her alma mater, Mace, who is currently serving her third term in the U.S. House of Representatives, said she was ready to make her long-anticipated gubernatorial bid official.
“South Carolina is tired of politicians who smile for the cameras, lie to your face and then vanish when it’s time to lead,” she said. “I’m not one of them. I’m running for governor because South Carolina doesn’t need another empty suit, and needs a governor who will fight for you and your values.”
Mace has yet to secure Trump’s support but has made it clear that she would fight for his endorsement.
“I’ll be working very hard if I get in to earn his support,” she said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.
