BEAUFORT, S.C. () — Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) held a town hall in Beaufort on Thursday night, taking questions from constituents.

However, with the Republican presidential primaries in the state just days away, talk naturally turned in that direction.

“We’re a very diverse, politically diverse district. I would call it a swing district, it’s very purple. So, we have independents, we have Republicans, we have Democrats. Really, it’s about what’s going on locally. Local issues matter. Policy matters, and representing this district means we march to the beat of our own drum,” Mace said.

And the crowd did run the gamut with a wide range of views, Mace fielding questions about national issues and some closer to home.

Mace said the southern border was one of her most asked questions, something she’s been very vocal about.

“The border is the number one issue that’s facing our country right now, even down here in Beaufort County,” she said.

“We think that, ‘hey – this isn’t here.’ But yeah, it’s here because every town and every state has become a border town or a border state.”

Mace has stated that she believes Trump-era border policies were more effective and thrown her support to him, endorsing him earlier this year.

“Donald Trump is going to crush the election on Saturday. We’re seeing that everywhere across the low country and across the state of South Carolina. He’s going to win big,” she said.

However, when we asked some of her constituents who they might support in the primaries on Saturday, there was a wide range of answers.

“it’s going to be a difficult campaign. I like Nikki Haley. Trump has shown that he’s capable of running the country. So, it’s going to be interesting,” Mitchell LeClaire, a South Carolina resident, said.

“I mean, I’m from New York, so I was born a trump-hater,” Joe Berger, another South Carolina resident, said.

“I realized, to be a Republican, I’m crazy. So, I will never again, ever, ever vote for another Republican,” he continued.

Still, with Mace’s continued support for Trump, some have speculated she could be on the shortlist to become his Vice President if he wins the Republican nomination.

When we asked her about that, she said this: “I love the state of South Carolina, and I want to serve as long as possible.”
