Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., told Newsmax on Thursday that she is considering a run for South Carolina governor in 2026 to help duplicate President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda in the state.
“When I look at the midterms coming up in the next two years, in 2026, it’s going to be a big year for Republicans,” Mace said on “Wake Up America.” “We have a real opportunity to cinch the U.S. Senate, to get more Trump-supporting governors all across the country to help implement his agenda, and, in my home state of South Carolina, looking to lower taxes, making sure we’re working with ICE deporting illegal aliens. I just fired a sanctuary sheriff in Charleston, South Carolina. We have MS-13 gangs, we have cartels in South Carolina.
“We need people who are going to be strong, who are going to be bold, to implement his agenda in every state across the nation. I’m looking at the field and I don’t see anyone else out there who has the experience, the work ethic and the ability to make some really tough decisions going forward. So, that’s why we’re looking at it, and we’re lining up support right now as we consider this run to make South Carolina better than ever before.”
