NFL coach Randy Brown, a former Evesham mayor, considering running as a Republican in NJ-03. Wish he'd stepped up in 2020 instead.

Tom Rice is so screwed that he'd lose to a literal pedophile, let alone a "Yankee carpetbagger." The GOP primary electorate in SC-07 is the Trumpiest in South Carolina - this is the only district where Trump received more than 40% of the vote in '16. Unless Trump's approval rating among Rs drops below 60% or so (very unlikely), he'll probably retire anyway.

I literally live in this district and yes it’s very trumpy but it’s also very old southern white. I can see Rice have a tough primary challenge, but he’s also been a good representative so far, pushing for some very needed infrastructure projects like a highway to MB (though this has been somewhat controversial) and an inland port in Dillon County. He’s not DOA.

Well, I hope you're right. But how does the district being "very old southern white" help Rice? I don't get it.

I mean it’s not gonna be very open to a person literally coming down here from NYC to take down our politician.

But also looking at the past representatives for like the last thirty years (though that’s kinda hard to do) it tends to err more moderate. Edward Lunn Young, Robin Tallon, Joe Spratt, etc. While I will admit the parties have gotten a little more right and left in their electorate.

It’s also important to realize that this district is basically two COI’s kinda stuck together. The Florence area (PeeDee) and then the Grand Strand. While the grand strand is where Rice is, he’ll probably rely on more of the PeeDee. He ran ahead of Trump in the district, and has won counties such as Dillon and Hartsville by a few points more where as trump barely won them. Rice is popular, he’s a solid conservative and the only “flaw” he has is his impeachment vote. I don’t imagine that’ll be much an issue two years down the road.

Now I will also point out that Rice could very well retire in 2022. He’s had two pet projects, the inland port and extended Interstate 73 to Myrtle Beach. He’s already done the first one and has basically been entirely focused on the later ever sense. Should he get that done he could retire in 2022. (Part of me wonders if he did the impeachment vote to make it easier for him to work with democrats to get that done).

Heather Mizeur, former State Delegate and candidate for Governor in 2014, is now in for MD-01. Clearly banking on a gerrymander from the General Assembly. Let's hope, because Andy Harris is insane and needs to go.
