I’m LEAVING Congress. Here’s What Nobody Saw Coming

Nancy Mace’s Departure from the House

Nancy Mace says she will leave the U.S. House on January 3 after deciding not to seek another term. When she first ran for Congress, she pledged to serve three terms. She says elected officials should observe term limits or take breaks from politics.

After nine years in elected office, Mace says she is looking forward to spending more time with her family and caring for her dogs.

Plans to Remain Active in Public Life

Mace says she is not leaving public life altogether. She plans to use her podcast and social media to continue criticizing both parties and influencing conservative politics.

She points to congressional hearings and oversight work—including her questioning of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump—as examples of the confrontational role she intends to continue.

Criticism of Politics and Media

Mace says inaccurate press coverage, allegations about her drinking, and threats have made public office exhausting. She also argues that both parties protect one another and describes efforts she says were blocked, including a proposed subpoena related to Ilhan Omar’s immigration records.

She highlights her advocacy for voter ID and her clashes with Democratic lawmakers.

Midterm Outlook

Looking ahead to the midterms, Mace predicts significant Republican losses and expresses concern about her state and her House seat.

She criticizes Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign messaging about Amy Acton’s family, calling it offensive and arguing that it could alienate women voters. Mace also says she wants conservative women to receive more support.

Podcast and Closing Remarks

Mace thanks voters, donors, and followers, and asks viewers to subscribe to help grow her podcast, Get Mace. She says she plans to work from a home studio and remain active online.

Royce White is announced as a guest for the following night.
