  "account": "Democrat Nancy Lacore claimed victory on Friday in the U.S. House election for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, defeating Republican Jenny Costa Honeycutt.\n\nLacore brings to the role a distinguished military background, having served as a former Navy vice admiral and chief of the Navy Reserve. Her tenure was abruptly ended in the previous year when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired her, as part of a wider campaign against military leaders during the second term of President Donald Trump.\n\nThe Republican candidate, Jenny Costa Honeycutt, entered the fray as an attorney and a member of the Charleston County Council. The outcome will see Democratic Rep. Nancy Mace relinquish her position following a failed gubernatorial campaign.\n\nThe Associated Press formally declared Lacore the winner at 6:51 p.m. EST.",
