On October 28, 2025, while campaigning for the Republican nomination for South Carolina governor, Rep. Nancy Mace posted on X (@NancyMace):

"Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."

In 2022, Mace had voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, the federal law requiring recognition of same-sex and interracial marriages — a vote that contrasts with the 2025 post.
