She has always done a lot.
I've never gotten over how in 2021 she just got elected in 2020.
She she upset.
It was like a Republican district, but she she overformed the polls one.
And then a few months later reported that Antifa, which I didn't know was in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, had graffitied outside her house slogans like pass the proact.
And these Antifa members were never caught.
They've never been seen in South Carolina again.
And even then, I was talking to some Republicans who she does not have a lot of fans in South Carolina.
Republican strategists who said, like, yeah, that's interesting that there's not any video evidence of what happened on her house.
So South Carolina has a runoff system.
And the question Republicans had was interesting.
Is she famous enough to get through the first round of the runoff to then lose to literally anyone else?
Because you've got the lieutenant governor, you've got the attorney general.
They were pretty confident that Donald Trump, who she has gone back and forth with in humorous ways, you know, he's terrible.
No, he's not.
I'm going to campaign Trump Tower, et cetera.
Other Republicans in this race have been more supportive of Trump.
Alan Wilson, the attorney general, son of Joe Wilson, the congressman, was a day one Trump endorser.
It did not dither at all like she did.
