In a stunning upset, Navy Rear-Admiral Nancy Lacore has emerged as the Democratic nominee for South Carolina's first congressional district, setting her sights on flipping a long-held Republican seat in the November midterm elections. Lacore, a three-star naval officer who was unceremoniously fired by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last year, has now secured the party's nomination after a fierce runoff against US Coast Guard veteran Mac Deford.
