MS NOW opinion on Mace's loss and her record

In an opinion piece for MS NOW, Anthony L. Fisher argues that Nancy Mace's failed gubernatorial bid caps a career he characterizes as defined by reversals. The column contends that Mace briefly broke with Trump after January 6 before realigning with him, and lost his endorsement after supporting release of the Epstein files.

MS NOW (the rebranded MSNBC digital opinion section) published a column by Anthony L. Fisher reflecting on Nancy Mace's fifth-place finish in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary. Fisher's piece argues that Mace's career has been marked by what he calls a pattern of vacillation: he writes that she condemned Trump after the January 6 Capitol riot, later realigned herself with him, and ultimately lost his endorsement after she supported releasing the unredacted Epstein files. The characterizations are the columnist's opinion; the piece is commentary rather than a news report.

MS NOW headlined the piece "Nancy Mace lost the South Carolina governor's race. But her legacy of failure runs much deeper.", that wording is the outlet's.
