South Carolina Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mullins McLeod has come under scrutiny following the release of video footage showing him in a half-naked state during an arrest and engaging in a tirade where he threatened physical harm against Congresswoman Nancy Mace, a Republican and his opponent in the governor's race. In the footage, McLeod refers to himself as 'Superman' and 'God' while making aggressive statements. The controversy has led to calls from South Carolina Democrats for McLeod to withdraw from the governor's race. Meanwhile, Nancy Mace, currently a Republican state representative, is mounting a campaign for a U.S. House seat she presently occupies. In related political news, former New York Congressman Chris Collins, who was jailed for insider trading, is seeking to run for a Florida U.S. Congress seat to replace Byron Donalds. Additionally, Catalina Lauf, a former appointee of President Donald Trump, is considering a run in the Republican primary for Florida's 19th Congressional District.
