Nancy Maces main character energy
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) has a way of being in the middle of things, whether it\u2019s standing up to Trump after Jan. 6 when many in her party kept quiet, helping overthrow House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, or warning Republicans about how they were wrong when it comes to the politics of abortion.\xa0\nBut some of that drama is catching up with Mace back home in South Carolina, which on Saturday will be the center of the political world as voters head to the polls in the state\u2019s presidential primary. Mace is now back in Trump\u2019s corner and facing a primary which features not one but two candidates at least partly motivated by revenge: a candidate backed by McCarthy and Mace\u2019s own former chief of staff.\nOn this episode of Deep Dive, host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza talks to Rep. Mace about her on-again, off-again history with Trump; the revenge plots playing out in her primary; her prediction about Trump\u2019s margin of victory on Saturday; and the backstory to that time she wore a giant scarlet \u201cA\u201d on the House floor.\nRyan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO.Nancy Mace is the representative for South Carolina's 1st district.\xa0Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio.\xa0Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio.\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
