I don’t really feel bad for these women because at some point they need to realize they are not Republicans anymore. They just aren’t. It’s delusional. Neither is Liz Cheney, Kinzinger, Romney, etc. They may not be Democrats, but they aren’t Republicans either.

Ahhh, South Carolina. The first state to succeed in 1860, build a "heritage" on a four-year, one-month, and two-week war, and then surrender in a decimated mess. The low brain power of its leadership today is still just as staggering.

It would be lovely if they were all replaced with pro-choice Democrats... but it's South Carolina.

Shealy originally won that seat as a petition candidate (SC messed up a bunch of stuff that year and a bunch of candidates were disqualified in primaries) in the general against the incumbent Republican. I wouldn’t be surprised if she attempts a write in campaign In the currently unopposed general

Her sympathy for science and feelings of mercy for women did her in: "In mailings around the district Kennedy, a former prosecutor, insinuated Shealy was a fake conservative with misleading claims about her record on issues like gun rights  and mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic."
