HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) - Some Republicans in Horry County are looking to run against U.S. Rep. Tom Rice after he made a controversial decision against now-former President Donald Trump.
Rice was one of 10 Republicans in the House of Representatives that voted in favor of impeaching Trump after he was accused of inciting the deadly riot at the United States Capitol.
Now Horry County School Board Chairman Ken Richardson is one of a few people looking at a run for the District 7 seat that is held by Rice.
