A new poll shows South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson leading in the race to become the Republican nominee for governor in next year’s election with Congresswoman Nancy Mace in a distant fourth place.
The poll, conducted by Wick, shows Wilson in first place with 22.2 percent, Lt. Gov Pamela Evette in second with 15.7 percent, Rep. Ralph Norman in third place with 12 percent and Nancy Mace in a distant fourth place with 10.5 percent.
Wilson gained national notoriety for leading the effort of states uniting against the impeachment of President Trump, putting together a 21-state coalition that blasted the partisan circus being put on by Democrats.
Wilson also filed an amicus brief with AGs from 15 other states in support of President Trump’s appeal of the $355 million judgement in New York AG Leticia James’ case over Trump allegedly making false real estate statements. That ruling was recently overturned.
AG Wilson joined the historic effort led by Texas AG Ken Paxton to challenge the electoral results in key battleground states where suspicious abnormalities and irregularities took place in what seemed to be a coordinated fashion. The Supreme Court unfortunately refused to take the case, blocking a crucial avenue to combat the election fraud that took place during the 2020 presidential election.
While AG Wilson was working for election integrity after the 2020 presidential election, Rep. Mace was throwing President Trump under the bus after the Jan. 6 fed-surrection. Rep. Mace even went on CNN where she stated her belief that President Trump’s “entire legacy was wiped out” by Jan. 6. She made it clear she believed it was time to turn the page on President Trump’s movement and bury MAGA for good.
“We’ve got to start over,” she said. “We don’t have the ground that we need to push forward and do the things that we need to do to be successful and work for and be the voice for hard-working Americans that believed in his message. We cannot condone the violence … We’ve got to rebuild our nation and rebuild our party.
Rep. Mace has lost public support for her run for governor after a series of attention-grabbing stunts, such as her public feud with American Airlines and the Charleston International Airport. She claimed that the airport and airline employees “coordinated and conspired to create false and misleading incident reports.” She has also launched nasty personal attacks against the front-runner Wilson on social media.
