Rice Falls! Mace Survives!

Rice takes the fall.

Washed Up 45 succeeds in one of two Republican primaries in South Carolina.

Rep. Karen Rice (R-SC) loses his primary while Rep. Karen Mace (R-SC) survives hers.

Rice voted to impeach the former president while Mace criticized Washed Up 45 for being mostly responsible for the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Rice, a five-term congressman, was defeated Tuesday by state lawmaker Karen Fry, who was endorsed by the former president. Rice was a strong supporter of the former president's ’s policies in Washington but said he was left no choice but to impeach the idiot over his failure to calm the mob that violently sought to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s victory.

Mace defeated Karen Arrington, a former Republican nominee who survived a near fatal accident. Mace also angered Trump, but she sought to make amends and won her GOP primary over her own Washed Up 45 backed challenger.

In other races Tuesday, Democratic Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) handily defeated her progressive challenger Amy Vilela, a candidate endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO). Rep. Karen Amodei (R-NV) drew a challenge from Karen Tarkanian, of one of the state’s most famous sports figures. In Maine, a former Republican congressman is hoping to reclaim his seat in November in a rematch with the Democrat who defeated him four years ago.

Mace survives the challenge.

In Texas, Republican Karen Flores narrowed Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) majority in the House by winning a special primary election to serve the remaining months of former Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela’s term.

Republicans are motivated by culture wars and white nationalism. 

Democrats are motivated by the repeals of abortion, stalled legislation and racism.

I can not truly predict the Midterms. They say Republicans may take control but the risk is huge. They have no actual platform to run on other than blaming President Joe Biden for the economy they had a part in creating. They will cause more havoc until the presidential election. They also are motivated by a Supreme Court willing to overturn Roe v. Wade, states that loosen gun laws and states that are forcing teachers out of their jobs because of the way they're teaching. They want to ban transgender people from playing gender sports. They want to arm everyone with guns. They want to stop the working class from getting the safety net. 

Mace is a part of the problem. Had Arrington used the spray paint vandalism hoax, she could have won.

Mace was one of the smart Republicans at one time.

Rep-elect Vilela will be sworn in this week.
