Rep. Ralph Norman, among House's most conservative, set to enter South Carolina governor's race
The wealthy real estate developer and longtime ally of former Gov. Nikki Haley is expected to file his candidacy paperwork with state officials on Friday, his campaign told The Associated Press.
Norman has long been mulling a campaign for the state's highest office. But unlike several of his fellow candidates, he's not expected to seek the endorsement of the Republican whose backing in South Carolina GOP politics matters most: President Donald Trump.
Norman, 72, joins several other announced candidates, including Attorney General Alan Wilson and Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, in the race for next June's GOP primary, and Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina's 1st District is soon expected to announce her campaign. All three have touted their ties to Trump, who has maintained popularity in the state since his 2016 primary win there helped cement his status as the GOP presidential nominee.
Representing South Carolina's 5th District, Norman stridently backed Trump during his first term, voting against both House impeachments of the president. During the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters, he urged the then-president to declare 'Marshall Law' in a text to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows — misstating the term martial law even as he called for upending the peaceful transfer of power.
But in the 2024 presidential campaign, Norman was one of only two House members nationwide to endorse Haley's candidacy. The former South Carolina governor, who served as Trump's United Nations ambassador, was his last primary challenger to depart the race, and Norman frequently appeared with her along the campaign trail.
Both elected to the state House in 2004, Norman and Haley became legislative allies, and Norman was among few elected officials who backed Haley's insurgent, and ultimately successful, 2010 gubernatorial bid. In the 2024 presidential campaign, Norman in part argued that Haley could serve two full terms, while Trump could only go on to serve one.
Norman has frequently operated outside the mainstream even among his home state's GOP circles. In 2018, as Gov. Henry McMaster — with Trump's backing — faced several primary challengers as he sought his first full term in office after succeeding Haley as governor, Norman endorsed Catherine Templeton, an attorney who had served Haley's gubernatorial administration in several capacities.
Norman has long been a member of the House Freedom Caucus, comprised of the chamber's most conservative members. According to GovTrack.us, the deficit hawk has traditionally ranked as the state's most conservative U.S. House member and among the top most conservative members nationwide, based on his legislative activity.
He has been in the U.S. House since winning a 2017 special election to replace Mick Mulvaney, whom Trump appointed to lead the Office of Management and Budget.
In 2018, South Carolina Democrats called for felony charges after Norman pulled out his own loaded handgun during a meeting with constituents to make a point about gun safety. Attorney General Alan Wilson — who is also seeking next year's GOP gubernatorial nomination — declined to press charges.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Norman, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky were fined $500 apiece for not wearing face coverings on the House floor, which was a requirement at the time. They sued Democratic then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, subsequently losing an appeal over the incident.

Trump tariffs live updates: India hit with 50% tariffs as Trump's sweeping trade measures roll out
President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on India over its purchases of Russian oil. The new tariff, which will come into effect in 21 days, is set to "stack" on top of an existing country-specific tariff of 25%. In doing so, Trump is set to make good on a threat for higher tariffs on India, as he has accused the country of effectively financing the Russian war in Ukraine. "They're fueling the war machine," he charged in a CNBC interview. India's first 25% levy takes effect Thursday, part of scores of new duties that will see importers paying between 10% to 50% as they bring in goods from nearly 200 countries around the globe. Outside of India, Switzerland is the developed nation whose goods face a whopping increase: up to 39%. You can see the new rates Trump is set to levy in the graphic below: Trump also said this week that he would soon announce tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports, as he prepares to add more sectoral duties to his mix of tariffs. He said duties on pharma could eventually balloon as high as 250%. In the past several days, Trump has unleashed a flurry of deals and trade moves leading up to his self-imposed deadline: Trump granted Mexico, the US's largest trading partner, a 90-day reprieve on higher tariffs. Trump hiked tariffs on Canadian imports to 35%, though goods contained in the US-Mexico-Canada agreement are exempt, keeping this hike's impact limited so far. The US agreed to a trade deal with South Korea. The agreement includes a 15% tariff rate on imports from the country, while the US will not be charged a tariff on its exports. Trump imposed 50% tariffs on semi-finished copper products starting Aug. 1. The president signed an order to end the de minimis exemption on low-value imports under $800, thereby applying tariffs from Aug. 29. Trump signed another order to impose a total of 50% tariffs on many goods from Brazil. However, it exempts key US imports like orange juice and aircraft parts that benefit Embraer (ERJ). The US and EU agreed to a trade deal that imposes 15% tariffs on EU goods. The nations are still working on finalizing many terms of the deal.

Trump hits India with additional 25% tariff over Russia oil buys President Trump has hit India with an additional 25% tariff due to India's purchase of Russian oil. The US president threatened India with higher tariffs earlier this week, which India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi called "unjustified," also calling out the US for its double standard over Russia. In an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Trump said that India was helping to fuel the war machine. 'They're fueling the war machine. And if they're going to do that, then I'm not going to be happy,' Trump said. In the early days of trade negotiations, relations between the US and India appeared more friendly, with both sides saying they would reach a deal within days. However, over recent months ,things seem to have turned sour as neither side can agree on some of the finer details within the deal, which concern dairy and agricultural products. As a result, a trade war seems to have developed between the two sides, and now with this additional 25% tariff gift from Trump to Modi, the two seem further away from reaching an agreement than ever before. Modi's rival blasts 'bully' Trump as public opinion hardens Rahul Gandhi, Narendra Modi's most recognizable political rival, has come out to call President Trump a "bully" for his negotiation tactics.

Trump says pharma duties could go to 250% President Trump said he would announce tariffs on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports "within the next week or so." "We'll be putting a initially small tariff on pharmaceuticals, but in one year — one and a half years, maximum — it's going to go to 150%. And then it's going to go to 250%, because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country," Trump said during a CNBC interview. He said semiconductor and chip tariffs would be in a "different category." US tariff on EU goods set at flat 15% The EU said on Tuesday that European Union goods entering the US face a flat 15% tariff, including cars and car parts. The rate includes the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff and won't exceed 15% even if the US raises tariffs on items like semiconductors and medicines. The EU said it still expects turbulence in its trade dealings with the US. Reuters reports: Read more here.

Trump's Asia tariffs takes a massive hit on Bitcoin miners
Trump's Asia tariffs takes a massive hit on Bitcoin miners originally appeared on TheStreet. As per the latest report by The Block, President Donald Trump's latest order on global tariffs seems to be becoming a pain in the neck for the Bitcoin mining community in the U.S. As the 90-day tariff pause deadline neared, Trump announced a slew of new global tariff rates on July 31. Among the worst-hit are the key centers of mining rig manufacturing in Southeast Asia. For those unfamiliar, crypto mining is the process of using high-tech hardware to validate and secure transactions on a blockchain network. Ethan Vera, the COO of a Bitcoin mining technology and services company, Luxor Technology, shared a document with The Block as per which the latest directive imposes 21.6% tariffs, including a 19% "reciprocal tariff," on imports of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand beginning Aug. are chips that are designed to execute a specific task extremely efficiently such as crypto mining, as opposed to general-purpose processors like central processing units (CPUs) or graphics processing units (GPUs). As per the report, U.S. tariffs on imports from China, a major hub of mining rig manufacturing, stand at a staggering 57.6%, which includes a 10% baseline reciprocal tariff and an additional country‑specific tariff of 20%. Anyway, the tariff pause deadline between the two countries is set to expire on Aug. 12, and there has been no breakthrough so far. While still lower than earlier rates, the current tariffs are significantly higher than the 2.6% tariffs on ASICs imported from the Southeast Asian countries before Trump's second term. However, Chinese machines even earlier used to face an additional 25% ad valorem said, "At 21.6% tariffs, the U.S. is now one of the least competitive jurisdictions to bring machines in, and miners are looking at Canada and other markets to expand too." Opportunity for domestic manufacturers However, the new trade conditions could also lead to a rise in the prices of U.S.-based used ASIC machines in the face of high tariffs on imported rigs, he explained. Though Luxor is excited about the production of mining rigs in the U.S., it warned fully onshoring the manufacturing could take years because most of the raw materials are still imported from Asia. The mining company expected the Trump administration to exempt the mining equipment from tariff hikes in order to encourage the domestic crypto industry. Trump's Asia tariffs takes a massive hit on Bitcoin miners first appeared on TheStreet on Aug 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Aug 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

"Forgive Me Nebraska, I Wasn't Familiar With Y'alls Game": Over 2 Million People Have Watched This Video Of A Republican Lawmaker Being Passionately Booed And Heckled At A Town Hall
Republican lawmaker Mike Flood was recently booed and heckled at a town hall in Nebraska, and the video is GLORIOUS. Over two million people have watched this TikTok that began with Mike asking, "Do you think people who are 28 years old, who can work and refuse to work, should get free healthcare?" As the crowd screamed a resounding "YESSSS," Mike looked like he was thinking, "Oh no." Related: The face of someone who did not receive the answer they expected: "I don't think that the majority of Nebraskans agree with you," he finally said. When he asked for the next slide of the presentation, people began chanting, "Tax the rich!" Related: Visibly frustrated, Mike tried again: "If you choose not to work. You. Do. Not. Get. Free. Healthcare." But the crowd wasn't having it and screamed, "BOOOOOO!" Mike continued, "Money does not fall out of the sky. It does not grow on trees. It comes from all of you. I wish there was a world we could live in where everything came from the government, and it was free. But that will never, ever, ever happen." Notably, he did not offer the obvious solution of, IDK, making the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share??? Throughout the town hall, people also shouted things like "vote him out!" and "liar!" The only time in the video that Mike received applause was when he supported the release of the Epstein files. Naturally, folks in the comments had a lot to say. This person pointed out, "even if you work healthcare isn't free!!!!" Related: Many people said what we're all thinking: "Healthcare should be a basic human right." "i love that you can hear the whole crowd say 'YES' it restored my faith in American society." "'Should people in the richest society in history have access to life saving care' isn't the gotcha he thinks it is." "Forgive me Nebraska, I wasn't familiar with yalls game DAMN." Related: "*the majority screams yes* 'the majority doesn't agree with you.'" And finally, "'it comes from all of you' SIR YOU FORGOT TO TAX THE BILLIONAIRES." What do you think about all this?
