During CNN's June 9, 2026 coverage of the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, anchor Kaitlan Collins and data analyst John King could not initially locate Nancy Mace among the leading candidates on the results board. King scrolled to the bottom of the field to find her, calling Mace 'at the bottom of the pack.' Pamela Evette and Alan Wilson advanced to a June 23 runoff; Mace finished near the bottom of the major Republican field.

'Ding dong the witch is gone': Nikki Haley's son toasts Mace's defeat, four years after his mother's ads helped save her seat
Minutes after Nancy Mace conceded her fifth-place finish in the June 9, 2026 South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, Nalin Haley, the son of former governor and U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, quote-tweeted her concession with 'DING DONG THE WITCH IS GONE!,' then added 'Free at last, free at last.' The jab capped a four-year arc: in 2022 Nikki Haley cut TV ads calling Mace 'tough as nails' and 'a fighter' and helped her beat a Trump-backed primary challenger; in January 2024 Mace repaid her by endorsing Donald Trump over Haley, in Haley's home state, the day before the New Hampshire primary. The Haley camp had spent election day boosting Mace's rivals.
