Debates are a healthy part of democracy and a great American tradition. I am ready to stand on the stage and answer to the voters of SC-01. My opponent refuses. The people of the Lowcountry deserve better.
The two Democrats competing for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District runoff are at odds over whether to participate in what could be the only head-to-head debate. Read more: bit.ly/49UhVSK

More billionaire dark money incoming to support my opponent @nancylacore. #SC01 will not be bought by AI data center billionaires!

I'll always show up for the people of the Lowcountry, whether it's easy or not. That's what respect looks like. I accepted these debates. My opponent declined. You deserve a candidate who isn't afraid to face you.

Respect for voters means showing up to debate, defending your record, and explaining your platform, not hiding from it. Lowcountry voters deserve better!
Just in: @nancylacore has declined Live 5’s invitation to debate @MacDeford ahead of the Democratic Primary runoff in two weeks. She says she’s focusing on voters directly. “She will not provide a platform for her opponent to continue spreading misinformation” #chsnews

We’re proud to accept another invitation to a Democratic debate for the First Congressional District hosted by @WSAV, @WCBD, and the @BeaufortCo_Dems on June 17th. The Lowcountry deserves transparency and accountability. That’s the spirit of a debate, and that’s exactly what they will always get from me. ✅ WSAV, WCBD, & Beaufort Dems Debate on June 17 ✅ Live 5 & WTOC Debate on June 18

This race is about who actually fights for you. Real relief on the cost of living. A real check on Trump’s Washington. A leader who never forgets who he answers to. Polls close at 7 pm. Vote today: scvotes.gov for your polling location.

Evidently, Congress needs to introduce a bill that says the Attorney General *cannot* be the president’s former personal attorney.

Appointing someone with zero intelligence experience to be the director of national security is wild.
President Donald Trump said he is tapping Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as the acting Director of National Intelligence. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This is rich. @nancylacore now says Pete Hegseth politicized the military. Yet, she personally signed the directive carrying out Trump's order to eliminate Navy Reserve policies on anti-harassment, equal opportunity, anti-retaliation, and diversity. That doesn't mean Hegseth gets a pass. But if politicizing the military is the concern (it is), scrutinize both the officials issuing directives and the leaders carrying them out. Lacore's criticism raises questions about Hegseth—but also about her own role in implementing the administration's agenda. The question isn't just whether Hegseth crossed a line. It's why those now sounding the alarm helped redraw it.
Pete Hegseth has crossed another line. He has injected politics into the military, and it will take time to recover. In Congress, I will do everything I can to protect the military from political interference and ensure it remains focused on its mission, not partisan politics.
