People briefed on the discussions say it isn’t immediately clear where Bolling would run, but that he could potentially wage a primary against GOP Rep. Tom Rice, who voted for then-President Donald Trump’s impeachment, or another Republican representative, Nancy Mace…
Rice has emerged as a top target of the former president ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, along with the other nine House Republicans who voted for Trump’s impeachment and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who voted for Trump’s conviction. During his recent speech before the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump singled out each for criticism. Trump recently endorsed Max Miller, a former White House aide who is waging a challenge to Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, a Republican impeachment backer from Ohio.
Mace opposed Trump’s impeachment, though she has said that his actions “put all our lives at risk” at the Capitol on Jan. 6. The day after the insurrection, Mace told The State, a Columbia, S.C., newspaper, that she no longer believed in Trump.
