From October 19, 2022 post.
Republican U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace and Democratic challenger Annie Andrews clashed fiercely over abortion rights, gun restrictions and gender-affirming care for children, all while attempting to paint the other as too extreme for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District.
At times, their only debate of the season saw the exchanges devolve into bitter back-and-forths, with the candidates challenging each other directly and claiming their opponent was lying during their hour-long Oct. 19 forum broadcast from the WCBD-TV studios in Mount Pleasant.
For the most part the two women — both suburban moms of school-aged children — talked past each other as they made their pitch to voters with less than 20 days to go until Election Day.
One of the most contentious and personal exchanges came within the first 15 minutes, when both fielded questions about abortion.
