Rep. Nancy Mace says she is considering a run for South Carolina governor

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina said Wednesday that she is “seriously considering” a gubernatorial run in 2026 and will make a final decision in the coming weeks. In a wide-ranging interview Wednesday in Washington, Mace — who last year won her third term representing South Carolina’s 1st District — told The Associated Press that she plans to ask for support from President Donald Trump, who has maintained popularity in the state since his 2016 primary win there helped cement his status as the GOP presidential nominee. MACE: “We are seriously considering a statewide run for governor in 2026.” “I’ve been in the state Legislature before, I have great relationships in Washington now, and I’ve acquired the leadership necessary to be bold, to make sure that we are moving forward with conservative policies. Mace’s district, which spans South Carolina’s southeastern coast in what’s known as the Lowcountry, is the only one in the state to have switched party control for decades.
