Republican Sheri Biggs advances to the primary runoff election in South Carolina's 3rd Congressional District. The upcoming election has garnered national attention as two contrasting candidates battle for the Republican nomination. Mark Burns, a leading face of the Christian nationalist movement, and Sheri Biggs, nurse and lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, are set to compete in a Republican runoff election on June 25.

An ultra-conservative preacher, who has called for the arrest and execution of supporters of transgender children and falsified his resume, Mark Burns has been a controversial figure in the political landscape. On the other hand, Sheri Biggs has positioned herself as a moderate Republican, focusing on healthcare issues and military experience.

Fox Carolina's Justin has been closely following the developments in the race, providing in-depth coverage of the candidates' positions and strategies. With just less than a month to go before South Carolina's June 11 primary, the race is heating up for the seven Republican candidates vying for the nomination in the Third Congressional District.

Donald Trump has endorsed plenty of Republican congressional candidates, but South Carolina televangelist Mark Burns is different. Burns has aligned himself closely with the president, echoing Trump's rhetoric on various issues and embracing his endorsement as a stamp of approval.

The sprawling Third Congressional District had been represented by Republican Jeff Duncan for 14 years. This year, with Duncan not seeking reelection, the race is wide open for new contenders. Both Burns and Biggs are positioning themselves as the best choice to carry on the conservative legacy in the district.

An evangelical pastor who's been endorsed by Donald Trump in his latest bid for Congress called for three Democratic congresswomen to be "sent home" to their countries of origin. This controversial statement has sparked backlash and brought national attention to the South Carolina race.
