It’s a Tuesday in 2022, which means it’s time for yet another stop in
Donald Trump's post-presidency revenge tour against incumbent
Republicans he thinks have wronged him. 

Today will see two high-profile GOP primaries in South Carolina, where
Reps. Tom Rice and Nancy Mace face Trump-backed opponents.

House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6
insurrection, while Mace, a freshman then on her third day in Congress,
went on TV to slam Trump for lying about the 2020 election — today will
be a case study in the divergent tactics the two have taken in
responding to Trump’s attacks, as NYT’s Maya King noted Monday
