In 2024 he was re-elected by acclamation as speaker pro tempore.[8]

2017 South Carolina 5th congressional district special election

On February 6, 2017, Pope announced his intention to seek South Carolina's 5th congressional district seat in the upcoming special election, due to the resignation of Mick Mulvaney to become the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

On May 2, 2017, Pope narrowly won the Republican primary for the U.S. congressional seat, leading by only 0.3%.[9] On May 16, 2017, Pope lost the runoff against Ralph Norman by 200 votes, or 0.6%.[10][11]
