"President Donald Trump successfully knocked off impeachment backing Rep. Tom Rice Tuesday night in South Carolina - but his endorsement wasn't potent enough to take out a one-time critic from the state, GOP Rep. Nancy Mace.

And in Texas, Republicans flipped a Democrat-friendly district to elect the House's first Mexican-born member, Mayra Flores.

The trio of races was called Tuesday night around 11 p.m., after voters went to the polls in South Carolina, Texas' 34th Congressional District, Nevada, North Dakota and Maine.

Rice's challenger, South Carolina state Rep. Russell Fry, was leading the incumbent lawmaker by more than 26 points when the race was called by the Associated Press at 11:01 p.m.

Rice had been one of 10 House Republicans to vote in favor of Trump's second impeachment - that he incited an insurrection on January 6.

Trump has gone state-by-state backing primary challengers for the 10 lawmakers or helping motivate their retirements. He's also taken on Republican lawmakers like Mace who made critical statements. "
