Rep Nancy Mace slaps down early retirement rumor: ‘BIG FAT NO from me’
In a recent social media post, Republican Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina firmly dismissed rumors about her potential early retirement from Congress, especially as she campaigns for the governor’s seat. Mace took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify that she has no intentions of stepping down, stating, “Retiring is a BIG FAT NO from me – not sure why the internet is running with this like wildfire – for the clicks I suppose.” This statement comes on the heels of a report from The New York Times, which suggested that Mace was expressing frustration with House Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership style, particularly regarding the treatment of women in the House. The report indicated that Mace was considering discussing her future with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has announced her own plans to leave Congress early next year.
Mace’s strong denial of retirement rumors highlights her commitment to her role in Congress, despite her frustrations. She pointed out that the media often misinterprets overheard conversations, leading to sensationalized stories. Mace emphasized her concerns about the legislative process, particularly the reliance on discharge petitions to advance important issues. She expressed her dissatisfaction with the current leadership, particularly regarding the slow progress on codifying former President Trump’s executive orders and other pressing matters. Mace’s recent actions, such as signing a discharge petition to ban stock trading among lawmakers, illustrate her proactive approach to addressing ethical concerns in Congress. Her remarks reflect a desire for more straightforward and ethical governance, a theme that resonates with many constituents who are frustrated with the current political landscape.
As Mace continues her campaign for governor, her outspoken nature and willingness to challenge the status quo may play a significant role in her political future. By addressing her frustrations publicly, she positions herself as a candidate who is not afraid to confront leadership and advocate for change, potentially appealing to voters who value transparency and accountability in government. The upcoming discussions with Greene and her ongoing efforts to push for legislative reforms could further shape her political narrative as she seeks to balance her congressional duties with her gubernatorial ambitions.

“Media catches one tiny piece of an overheard conversation and loses it. Confirmed: There’s frustration that discharge petitions are the only way to move things through the House. Confirmed: There’s frustration we haven’t codified Trump’s Executive Orders. We did Gulf of America. Cool. Look at Elise Stefanik or Anna Paulina Luna comments this week. Not confirmed: That anyone is retiring. Goodness. And God bless!” she said in

“Case in point. I signed a discharge petition to ban stock trading today. Why does something so easy ethically and morally to support, take forcing it down the throats of leadership when it’s just common sense? Members of Congress shouldn’t line their pockets with insider trading…” Mace said in
