  • Nancy Mace Returns for Her Last Weeks in Congress: A Hegseth Impeachment Vote, an Epstein Petition and a Seat Gone Blue

    Congress returns Nov. 9 for a five-week lame-duck session, and Rep. Nancy Mace is back for her final weeks before she leaves the House on Jan. 3. Rep. Thomas Massie is expected to force a vote this week on impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. On Nov. 6 Mace posted: 'Pete Hegseth is not to blame for the Iran war.' Her seat goes to Democrat Nancy Lacore, the retired Navy vice admiral Hegseth fired last year. Mace is one of four Republicans on Massie's second Epstein files petition, which is two signatures short. Here is what is on her plate this week, what she has said about each item, and what the record shows.

  • Nancy Mace on Election Night: 'The Only Thing Worse Than Being Fed a Pile of Sh*t Is Being Asked to Swallow It'

    Rep. Nancy Mace spent election night on Piers Morgan Uncensored's live panel in Washington. Watching the House seat she is leaving slip toward a Democrat, she said, 'I just found out, we're losing my seat,' and then, 'the only thing worse than being fed a pile of shit is being asked to swallow it.' When CBS called South Carolina's Senate race for Democrat Annie Andrews, she said, 'It's not unfucking real,' and added, 'Sorry, you said I could curse.' Two hours earlier she had said of Andrews, 'This was not a hard race.' She was not on the ballot. She said she won the seat by 18 points in 2024; it was 16.6. She called herself one of 'the only four Republicans who voted to release the Epstein files'; the House vote was 427 to 1, and the four were the Republicans who signed the discharge petition. Every quote below is checked against the broadcast audio.

  • Nancy Mace is leaving Congress. Why, and what is next?

    Nancy Mace recorded her goodbye to Congress at home on Oct. 22, 2026. She leaves the U.S. House on Jan. 3, 2027, and gives four reasons: a term-limit promise, press coverage she calls false, threats, and fatigue. Each is set beside the public record, from her 2020 win to fifth place in the June 9 governor primary, along with reasons she did not list: a House Ethics review with no announced result, and $176,206.28 in campaign payments to two law firms that the FEC filings describe only as legal fees, with no FEC investigation on the public record. Then the race for her seat and the media business she is building next.

  • 'Absolutely... was not invited': House Majority Leader Steve Scalise came to Nancy Mace's own Lowcountry to lift her replacement, and Mace was left off the list

    In mid-August 2026, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise swung through South Carolina to boost Jenny Costa Honeycutt, the Trump-endorsed Republican nominee for the 1st Congressional District seat Nancy Mace is vacating. Scalise appeared at a Charleston event in the heart of Mace's own district, alongside Honeycutt and Rep. Mike Haridopolos. Nancy Mace, still the sitting congresswoman for that district, was nowhere in sight. Asked whether Mace was part of it, a source in Honeycutt's campaign said she was 'Absolutely... not invited.'
