Dear Daily Kos family:
In case you missed it, POLITICO published a story this week with the headline: “The New Trump acolyte no one saw coming: Nancy Mace.”
Over the past month, Mace has yet again shifted her rhetoric regarding the former president, quickly becoming one of his most outspoken supporters in Congress. According to POLITICO:
“It was a remarkable turn for someone who sharply criticized Trump following the riot at the Capitol. And it likely won’t be the last, as Republican elected officials maneuver ahead of a 2024 presidential primary that Trump continues to dominate.”
This is hardly the first time that Mace has flip-flopped. Throughout her tenure in the House, she’s made a habit of telling constituents one thing and then voting the opposite way on a number of bills. But her new tone toward Trump is already reaping major rewards from MAGA Republicans. POLITICO reports:
“Her rush to Trump’s side since the indictment has not gone unrewarded in Trump world currency. On Twitter, the Trump campaign’s rapid response account and Trump adviser Jason Miller shared articles touting Mace’s comments. The MAGA War Room, an account operated by the pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc., has uploaded and retweeted Mace’s TV hits.”
So, is Mace serving the people of South Carolina or searching for future political favors? According to POLITICO’s reporting, some of Trump’s allies are already floating her name as a potential vice presidential nominee.
“Following Mace’s flurry of television hits coming to Trump’s defense, two Trump world aides privately remarked on the prospect of Mace as his running mate — both noting that she could potentially be helpful in reaching crucial suburban women in a general election matchup that Trump lost last time around.”
Unlike Nancy Mace, the only constituency I’m trying to please is the people of South Carolina’s 1st congressional district. It’s time for new and honest leadership in Washington, so please donate now to help me defeat Nancy Mace.
Sincerely,
Michael
