Nancy Mace’s Endorsement of Trump Over Haley Is Pure Drama
Mace, a survivor, endorsed Trump amid his ongoing rape trial and previously blamed him for Jan. 6. Meanwhile, Haley endorsed and bailed out Mace in 2022.


Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), Congress’ resident Republican theater kid, finally doled out an endorsement for the Republican presidential primary, and it’s raising some eyebrows. After previously saying she was “cheering [Nikki Haley] on,” Mace endorsed former President Trump, telling the Associated Press on Monday that “the time has come to unite behind our nominee.” Trump, of course, isn’t the nominee yet, though he’s significantly widened his lead over Haley in New Hampshire ahead of Tuesday’s primary. But at midnight on Tuesday, Haley won all six votes in a tiny resort town in the state, giving her an early, albeit six-vote lead over Trump.
“I don’t see eye-to-eye perfectly with any candidate,” Mace said of her endorsement. “Donald Trump’s record in his first term should tell every American how vital it is he be returned to office.” Of course, to me, not seeing eye-to-eye refers to disagreements over, like, the nuances of a budget. Mind you, Mace previously blamed Trump for the events of January 6, saying on January 7, 2021, that “everything that [Trump’s] worked for … all of that, his entire legacy, was wiped out yesterday. We’ve got to start over.”
