A former South Carolina football player has won the Democratic primary for the state’s 5th District congressional race.
Former Gamecock wide receiver Moe Brown won the South Carolina 5th District congressional primary last night over challenger Sidney Moore. The Democratic Party nominee will face off against incumbent Republican US Representative Ralph Norman in November. Brown won with nearly 68% of the vote.
Norman has held the seat since 2017, taking over after Mick Mulvaney left his post to become President Donald Trump’s budget director.
