Retired Rear Admiral Nancy Lacore claimed victory in Tuesday's election for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District after Republican opponent Jenny Costa Honeycutt's campaign contacted her to concede. Although votes have not all been counted and the race has not yet been officially called, both candidates and other parties involved have agreed on the outcome.

Lacore, a Democrat, said Republicans, Democrats and Independents had come together to vote for change. She said the Lowcountry did not need 'more political theater' but a representative willing to work on serious issues and clean up Congress. She pledged to work with anyone committed to these goals and said she would work just as hard for those who did not vote for her.

Lacore began her campaign months after being ousted from her military position by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, a prominent member of President Donald Trump's administration. She will take over the seat previously held by Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who congratulated Lacore on Wednesday morning.
