Admiral fired in Hegseth purge wins Democratic primary in South Carolina

Nancy Lacore, a three-star navy rear-admiral dismissed by Pete Hegseth during a defense secretary-led purge of senior military officials, has emerged victorious in the Democratic primary for South Carolina's first congressional district. This win positions her to challenge the Republican incumbent in November's midterm elections, aiming to flip the traditionally GOP-held seat. Lacore's victory highlights the potential for Democratic gains in the House, underscoring the competitive nature of this district and the broader implications for the balance of power in Congress.
