查尔斯顿县议会女议员、小企业主珍妮·科斯塔·哈尼科特距离赢得国会席位、接替知名共和党众议员南希·梅斯又近了一步。
据美联社周二报道，哈尼科特在南卡罗来纳州第一国会选区共和党决选中击败州众议员马克·史密斯。

梅斯是唐纳德·特朗普总统的长期支持者，在众议院任职的六年里与特朗普的关系跌宕起伏，今年她未寻求连任，转而竞选州长但最终失败。
哈尼科特和此前曾担任芒特普莱森特镇议会议员的史密斯在本月初的共和党初选中，从一众竞争激烈的候选人中脱颖而出，位居前两位。
但由于无人得票率超过50%，作为前两名的哈尼科特和史密斯晋级了周二的决选。

第一国会选区覆盖南卡罗来纳州大部分沿海地区，四十多年来一直由共和党掌控，仅在2018年“蓝色浪潮”选举期间，民主党短暂拿下该席位，中断了两年。
曾担任该席位议员的共和党人包括现任参议员蒂姆·斯科特和前州长马克·桑福德。

自称“毫不 Apologetic 的保守派”的哈尼科特，将在民主党决选的胜出者之间展开角逐，民主党决选的两位候选人分别是律师麦克·德福德和退役海岸警卫队副海军上将南希·拉科尔。

尽管哈尼科特被认为是大选的热门人选，但顶级无党派选举评级机构库克政治报告最近将该选区的评级从“稳固共和党”调整为“倾向共和党”。

Charleston County Councilwoman and small business owner Jenny Costa Honeycutt is one step closer to winning a ticket to Congress and succeeding nationally known GOP Rep. Nancy Mace.
Honeycutt defeated state Rep. Mark Smith to win the Republican runoff in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday.

Mace, a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump who’s had a turbulent relationship with the president during her six years in the U.S. House, unsuccessfully ran for governor rather than seek re-election this year.
Honeycutt and Smith, who previously served as a member of the Mount Pleasant Town Council, finished atop a very crowded field of candidates in the GOP primary earlier this month.
But with no one topping 50%, Honeycutt and Smith, as the top two finishers, advanced to Tuesday’s runoff.

The 1st Congressional District, which covers much of South Carolina’s coastal region, has been held by Republicans for four and a half decades, other than a two-year interlude when Democrats briefly captured the seat during the 2018 blue wave election.
Among the Republicans who once held the seat are now-Sen. Tim Scott and former Gov. Mark Sanford.

Honeycutt, who describes herself as an “unapologetic conservative,” will face the winner of the Democratic runoff between Mac Deford, an attorney, and retired Coast Guard Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore.

While Honeycutt will be considered the favorite in the general election, the Cook Political Report, a top nonpartisan election handicapper, recently shifted its rating of the race from “Solid Republican” to “Likely Republican.”
