Rep. Ralph Norman announced his bid for South Carolina governor, emphasizing his conservative stance, support for term limits, and praise for Donald Trump, with endorsements from Nikki Haley and others, as he seeks to challenge other GOP candidates in the upcoming election.
Ralph Norman, a U.S. Representative from South Carolina, is launching his bid for governor, positioning himself as an outsider and supporter of President Trump, and will compete in the GOP primary against Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson, with potential entry from Nancy Mace.
South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman is the only member of Congress to endorse Nikki Haley for president, despite her criticism of Donald Trump. Norman, a loyal MAGA ally, has managed to avoid significant blowback from Trump and his allies due to his impeccable credentials and transparency. His endorsement is based on his long-standing relationship with Haley and his belief that she can serve two terms, unlike Trump. While some colleagues have expressed support for Norman's decision, others, like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, have criticized it. Norman remains unchallenged in his staunchly conservative district, but his support for Haley may come under fire if she gains traction or continues to criticize Trump.
