Rep. Nancy Mace’s former chief of staff files to run against her in South Carolina

Rep. Nancy Mace’s former top aide, Daniel Hanlon, filed paperwork on Friday to run against his old boss in South Carolina’s June congressional primary. 

According to the Federal Election Commission, Hanlon has filed to run for Congress in South Carolina’s first district, which Mace has represented since 2021. Hanlon served as her chief of staff until he left Mace’s office in December. Business Insider first reported that Hanlon had filed the paperwork to run. 

It’s a rare thing for a former congressional aide to run against his or her old boss, but Mace’s office has seen waves of departures, and Hanlon isn’t the first to publicly express his displeasure with Mace. Mace’s former spokesperson, Natalie Johnson, tweeted this when Hanlon and other top aides left Mace’s office at the end of 2023: “You mean to tell me that the woman who’s had six (seven?) communications directors since me in a two-year span has a toxic workplace? Who could’ve seen this coming!?”

Mace started out in Congress as somewhat of a Trump critic, speaking out against him when many in her party preferred to stay quiet, particularly after the attack on the Capitol of Jan. 6, 2021. But over time she has shifted her place within the GOP conference. 

Mace took many by surprise when she voted to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in the fall. She also endorsed former President Donald Trump over former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, despite the fact that Haley campaigned for Mace when she faced a Trump-backed primary challenger. 

The Washington Post has reported that McCarthy encouraged Hanlon to run against Mace.

NEW YORK – The man accused of killing three people when drove drunk into a crowd on the Lower East Side on July 4th was arraigned on a host of charges Saturday. 

Daniel Hyden of Monmouth Junction, N.J. is charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, aggravated vehicular assault, manslaughter, assault and operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated charges. Hyden was driving with a suspended license, prosecutors said. 

According to prosecutors, Hyden, 44, drove a Ford F-150 pickup truck into the crowd at Corlears Hook Park just before 9 p.m. local time. He allegedly ran through a stop sign at the intersection of Water and Cherry Streets, drove up onto the sidewalk, slammed through the chain link fence, and into the crowd. 

Eleven people were killed or injured, prosecutors said. The three people killed have been identified as Lucille Pinkney, 59, and her son Herman Pinkney, 38, and Ana Morel, 43. Another person was critically injured, and seven others hospitalized. The youngest victim was 11, according to prosecutors. 

Responding police officers say they found Hyden on the ground next to the driver’s-side door, wearing pants but no shirt or shoes. He had bloodshot eyes, was stumbling and there was “a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath.” 

“I hope we get justice”

Threat of gun violence stressing out Americans

Four people were fatally shot and three people were injured in a mass shooting in Kentucky on Saturday, the Florence Police Department said in a statement. 

Officers arrived at a private residence at 2:51 a.m. to see seven people shot – and found out the suspect had fled the scene in his car. Police said they located the fleeing suspect and tried to nab him during a traffic stop, but he continued to drive. 

A chase ensued, police said, and only ended when the suspect’s car drove into a ditch off the roadway. The suspect was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.  

Three of the victims were taken to UC Health Hospital. They are currently listed in critical but stable condition, officials said.

Everyone was attending a birthday pool party, Florence Church of God, a local church, posted on its social media. One of their congregation’s sisters asked for prayers for her friend whose daughter was killed in the shooting.

“A man came in uninvited on a birthday pool party and killed four people,” the church’s Pastor Campbell wrote. 

One of them was a friend’s daughter, the pastor wrote, and “her granddaughter is in the hospital with gunshot wounds.”
