Jenny Costa Honeycutt secured the Republican nomination for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District after winning a June runoff against state Rep. Mark Smith, while Nancy Lacore advanced on the Democratic side by defeating Mac Deford. The open seat, vacated after Rep. Nancy Mace pursued an unsuccessful gubernatorial bid, sits in a district with a Republican-leaning Partisan Voter Index and historical margins favoring the GOP following 2021 redistricting. Honeycutt’s local profile as a Charleston County councilwoman, alignment with the Trump agenda, and subsequent presidential endorsement have reinforced trader positioning. Lacore, a retired Navy vice admiral previously removed from her role by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, brings military experience and EMILY’s List support but faces structural headwinds in the coastal district ahead of the November 3 general election. Recent polling reflects a competitive but Republican-favored contest.
