Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., told Fox News Digital ahead of Tuesday’s South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary that President Donald Trump’s endorsement has done little to boost her opponent’s standing with conservative voters, arguing that many grassroots Republicans are «very upset» with the decision.

«It’s not going over well for her with the grassroots, which is why she didn’t get much of a bump,« Mace said. «She got maybe a five point bump — not much.»

«And she’s going to be in a runoff and I think at that point all bets are off.»

Mace was referring to South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, whom Trump endorsed last week, as Mace and Trump have publicly broken in recent months.

«It’s a dog fight,» Mace said. «We’re in it and I’m gonna fight to the death.»

Mace shared that she wasn’t shocked when Trump chose not to endorse her because of her vote in Congress to push for the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

«I knew it was on the line when I voted to release the Epstein files, and I’m a survivor,» Mace said. «If the price to pay for an endorsement was to not release those files, I would never pay it.»

Mace was one of four Republicans to sign a petition last year to force a vote in the House on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, legislation that urged the Department of Justice to publish all its information on its probe into Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell — millions of documents.

Trump’s endorsement in the Republican primary was also in favor of South Carolina’s current term-limited governor, Henry McMaster, who has also endorsed Evette as his potential successor. Trump wrote that he expected Evette would choose the current governor’s son, Henry McMaster Jr., as her lieutenant governor.

«Pam Evette is a good friend, fighter, and WINNER, and will be a terrific Governor of South Carolina,» the president posted. «Pam has my Complete and Total Endorsement — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!»

Trump’s endorsement came days before the June 9 primary and as early voting was getting underway in South Carolina.

Tuesday’s crowded Republican primary field includes Evette, Attorney General Alan Wilson, Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., businessman Rom Reddy and Mace. If no candidate wins a majority, the top two finishers will advance to a runoff — a situation Mace predicted could reshape the race despite Trump’s backing of Evette.

Trump unloads on ‘lunatic’ John Bolton after ex-aide pleads guilty in classified docs case

Published

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

President Donald Trump on Friday mocked former National Security Adviser John Bolton after his one-time aide admitted to mishandling a classified national defense document.

Bolton pleaded guilty hours earlier during a hearing in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland, to one count of unauthorized possession of a national defense document. His guilty plea was part of a plea agreement that will see prosecutors dismiss the remaining 17 counts at sentencing. The guilty plea prompted an immediate response from Trump, who has repeatedly clashed with Bolton over foreign policy and the former adviser’s highly critical memoir ever since their very public falling out in 2019.

«John Bolton, a very dumb, unbalanced, and unskilled former representative of the United States of America, just pleads guilty!» Trump wrote in a Truth Social post late Friday. «He is a terrible person, a lunatic who only wanted to start trouble and wars, and who was a needless pusher of death and destruction wherever he went. Hopefully, he will be dealt with harshly!»

Bolton, 77, is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 28 and, under his plea agreement, faces a $2.25 million fine, up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release, up to 100 hours of community service and he will lose his federal retirement pension. His defense attorneys have said that they hope Bolton will avoid jail time.

According to prosecutors, Bolton unlawfully kept classified national defense information after leaving government service, including documents classified as top secret. Authorities alleged he kept more than 1,000 pages of notes detailing his day-to-day activities as national security adviser and shared portions of that material with two family members using a personal email account.

Federal prosecutors said the documents included highly sensitive intelligence involving covert action programs, human intelligence sources and methods, and foreign military threats.

FBI Director Kash Patel said the investigation demonstrated that Bolton knowingly mishandled classified information.

«This FBI’s investigation proved that John Bolton knowingly transmitted top secret information using personal online accounts and retained said documents in his house – all in direct violation of federal law,» Patel said in a statement to Fox News Digital. «Despite an onslaught of false claims by the fake news stating this case was ‘retribution,’ this investigation was based on meticulous work from dedicated professionals at the FBI who followed the facts without fear or favor – and Bolton chose to admit his guilt and plead guilty.»

Bolton served as Trump’s national security adviser from April 2018 until September 2019. Trump has said he fired Bolton, while Bolton said that he resigned.

Their relationship deteriorated further following the publication of Bolton’s 2020 memoir, «The Room Where It Happened,» which offered a highly critical account of Trump’s presidency. The Trump administration sought unsuccessfully to block the book’s publication, arguing it contained classified information. Bolton never faced any charges stemming from allegations that his memoir contained classified information.

Bolton’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, defended his client’s decision to plead guilty, saying it reflected accountability.

«He took responsibility for a mistake he made, thereby saving the government resources to pursue a case that could expose additional sensitive information,» Lowell said in a statement. «By contrast, President Trump thumbed his nose at the classified information laws, took actual classified documents to his Florida mansion, interfered with the investigation of that conduct, and has never accepted any accountability for his conduct. Ambassador Bolton, whose offense was only keeping a diary which contained classified information, kept a record to preserve history, but Donald Trump kept secrets to serve himself.»

Farage says mass migration has changed the UK ‘literally beyond recognition,’ believes party can win election

Published

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

EXCLUSIVE: Nigel Farage told Fox News Digital that mass migration has radically changed the country’s makeup. The Reform UK leader argued that Britain’s political system is «completely broken» following Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation. Farage is calling for a new general election, predicting his party has «every chance of winning.»

Speaking exclusively from the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London this week, a forum focused on debates over culture, Western civilization and Judeo-Christian values, Farage said Starmer’s downfall was not an isolated political event, but the latest aftershock of the Brexit revolt that upended British politics a decade ago.

«Ten years ago yesterday, we had a political earthquake in Britain. It was called Brexit,» Farage said. «And the two old parties have never quite adapted to it.»

Farage, one of the most prominent figures behind the Brexit campaign and now leader of Reform UK, has long argued that Britain’s political establishment failed to deliver on voters’ demands for tighter borders and greater national sovereignty.

Starmer announced his resignation,on Monday paving the way for Britain to have its seventh leader in a decade. Reuters reported on June 24 that Andy Burnham appeared positioned to succeed him, with the Labour leadership contest expected to begin July 9.

Farage said that Starmer’s defeat was sealed in local elections earlier this year, when Reform UK made sweeping gains in former Labour strongholds. Farage said those voters were the same people who powered Brexit — and that immigration remained central to their anger.

«All of those were Brexit voters,» he said. «Starmer wants to take us closer back to the EU. But one of the reasons we voted Brexit was immigration and border controls. So the boats certainly did him harm.»

He said Starmer’s reported strained relationship with President Donald Trump was not the direct cause of his resignation, but added that it contributed to the image of a leader who had lost control.

«I don’t think the breakdown of his relationship with Donald Trump impacted directly,» Farage said, «but it was part of a picture of a prime minister who’d lost control.»

Farage then delivered one of his sharpest assessments of Britain’s political instability.

«And can you believe it, but when Mr. Burnham becomes our next prime minister, it’ll be our sixth prime minister in seven years,» he said. «So our political system is completely broken.»

He argued that Burnham, if he entered Downing Street through a Labour leadership contest rather than a national election, would lack a public mandate. «I don’t even know what his policies are. Literally, I don’t,» he said.

«So I think for all of those reasons, there ought to be a general election and a fresh mandate,» he added, «and I certainly think Reform would have every chance of winning. Yes, I do.»

Farage also used the interview to cast Britain’s political turmoil as part of a broader Western crisis over borders, national identity and traditional values. He delivered a warning for Americans, saying the U.S. should avoid what he described as mistakes Britain made in diversity policies, policing and justice and immigration.

«Mass migration has changed this country, certainly in many of our cities, literally beyond recognition,» he said. «We’ve not been selective about who’s been able to come into the country. That is a major contributory factor.»

«I think the pendulum has swung so far in the DEI direction,» he said, «and we finished up, no doubt, in this country, with two-tier policing, with two-tier justice.»

«My message to Americans is that political change is coming,» he said. «All of this nonsense will get reversed.»

«But also, we’ve just lost our way,» he continued. «Our leaders do not want to stand up and defend any sense of traditional values.»

Asked about the relationship with the United States, Farage said he believes Britain should move closer to America, particularly on trade and financial services.

«My whole adult life has been closely intertwined with the United States of America,» he said, noting that his first job in 1982 was with the Wall Street firm Drexel Burnham Lambert.

«I think I can get on well with American leaders,» he said. «I hope and believe they can get on well with me.»

Farage said the two countries remain bound by investment, language and culture.

«You are the biggest foreign investor in Britain, and we’re still just about the biggest foreign investor in America,» he said. «And we share so much, not just language, but culture and so much else.»

«I really believe that a closer relationship with America, particularly breaking down some of the trade barriers in financial services, as an example, would be really good for both of us,» he said.

Farage also dismissed any serious push to take Britain back into the European Union.

«The price of going back into Europe would be giving up the currency, paying a massive membership fee every year,» he said. «So no, there is no demand for it, other than those stuck in the Westminster bubble who seem to be obsessed by it.»

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Farage framed the American Revolution as a predecessor to the Brexit movement he championed.

«America was the first Brexit,» he said. «You struck out on your own, the first Brexit, and you became the most successful country in the world.»
