南卡罗来纳州联邦众议员南希·梅斯（共和党籍）在周二南卡罗来纳州共和党州长初选前对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，唐纳德·特朗普总统的背书几乎没有帮助她的对手在保守派选民中提升支持率，她认为许多共和党基层选民对这一决定“非常不满”。
“这在基层选民中反响并不好，这也是她的支持率没怎么上涨的原因，”梅斯说，“她的支持率可能只涨了五个百分点——并不算多。”
“而且她很可能会进入 runoff 选举，我认为到那时一切都不好说了。”
梅斯所指的是南卡罗来纳州副州长帕梅拉·埃维特，特朗普上周刚为她背书，而梅斯与特朗普近几个月来已公开决裂。

“这是一场恶战，”梅斯说，“我们正在参选，我会战斗到底。”
梅斯透露，特朗普因她在国会投票推动公布与定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关的文件而未背书她，她对此并不感到意外。
“我投票公布爱泼斯坦文件时就知道这会有风险，而我本身也是受害者，”梅斯说，“如果为了获得背书就要放弃公布这些文件，我绝不会这么做。”
去年，梅斯是签署请愿书要求众议院就《爱泼斯坦文件透明度法案》进行投票的四名共和党议员之一，该法案敦促司法部公布其对爱泼斯坦及其同伙吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦调查的所有信息——总计数百万份文件。

特朗普在共和党初选中的背书对象还有即将卸任的南卡罗来纳州州长亨利·麦克马斯特，他也已背书埃维特作为其潜在继任者。特朗普表示，他预计埃维特会选择现任州长的儿子小亨利·麦克马斯特作为其副州长搭档。
“帕姆·埃维特是一位好朋友、斗士和赢家，她会成为一名出色的南卡罗来纳州州长，”这位总统在社交媒体上写道，“帕姆获得我完全且彻底的背书——她绝不会让你们失望！”
特朗普的背书是在6月9日初选前几天发出的，当时南卡罗来纳州的提前投票已经开始。

周二的共和党初选阵营拥挤，包括埃维特、司法部长艾伦·威尔逊、南卡罗来纳州联邦众议员拉尔夫·诺曼、商人罗姆·雷迪和梅斯。如果没有候选人获得多数票，得票前两名的候选人将进入 runoff 选举——尽管特朗普为埃维特背书，梅斯仍预测这种情况可能会改变竞选局势。
“我不认同这次背书，”梅斯说，“我会为自己投票。我也呼吁南卡罗来纳州的选民周二为我投票。”

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.

“I disagree with this endorsement,” Mace said. “And I’m going to vote for myself. I’m asking voters in South Carolina to vote for me as well on Tuesday.”
