Ex-Chief of Staff Challenges Rep. Nancy Mace in GOP Primary

Daniel Hanlon's campaign gains support amid allegations of a toxic work environment in Mace's office.

Daniel Hanlon, former chief of staff for Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, has filed to run against his former boss in the GOP primary for South Carolina's 1st congressional district.
Hanlon's decision to challenge Mace comes after a reportedly contentious departure from her office and amid allegations of a toxic work environment.
Hanlon's campaign has reportedly received support from several other former Mace staffers.
Mace, who has been a controversial figure within the Republican Party, has faced a string of staff resignations or firings since taking office in 2021.
Mace recently endorsed former President Donald Trump, despite initially being a critic of his.
