Rep. Bob Inglis, R-South Carolina, failed to win Tuesday’s primary and now must compete in the June 22nd runoff, the Associated Press projects.
With 96 percent of the precincts reporting, Inglis finished second to Spartanburg prosecutor Trey Gowdy, 40 to 27 percent. But since neither candidate secured more than 50 percent of the vote, the two will face off again later this month.
