A MAGA lawmaker is asking for “prayers” after being snubbed by President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC) took to X on Saturday just hours after Trump announced he would endorse late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline Graham Nordone to replace him \u2014 and not Fry. <\/p>\n

“My family and I have a big decision to make soon,” Fry wrote. “We’d appreciate your prayers.”<\/p>\n

Trump’s endorsement of Nordone caught the GOP flat-footed, as she had only been intended to be a caretaker appointment while voters decided a replacement, according to previous reporting.<\/p>\n

Filing to enter the race opens in three days, according to the Associated Press, which leaves Fry and other would-be contenders little time to decide whether to challenge a Trump-backed candidate in the primary.<\/p>\n

Nordone’s entrance into the race complicates the path ahead for multiple U.S. representatives who have expressed interest in running, including Rep. Fry and Rep. William Timmons (R-SC).<\/p>\n

“Russell Fry says he hasn’t made a decision as to whether he will run in the primary for Senate in S.C.,” noted Jake Sherman, the founder of Punchbowl News, in a response to Fry’s big decision post. “In Congress, Reps. Ralph Norman and Nancy Mace have signaled they may run.”<\/p>\n

The Democratic nominee in the race is Annie Andrews, a pediatrician.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Fry suggested he will weigh his options carefully. <\/p>\n

“South Carolina deserves strong conservative leadership,” he wrote. “We need a fighter and one who delivers results for South Carolina and the US.”<\/p>\n
