    'Advice, tips, hacks?': Mace's 'week 4' carnivore post is the newest chapter in two years of public posts about her weight, her hair, and PTSD

    On July 30, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace, a sitting member of Congress and announced candidate for South Carolina governor, asked her X followers for 'advice, tips, hacks' on the carnivore diet, 'heading into week 4.' The post drew more than 200 replies, many asking why a member of Congress was crowdsourcing meal-plan tips. It was not the first time. Since November 2024, Mace has posted repeatedly and publicly about her body: a roughly 30-pound weight loss she attributes to PTSD, a 110-pound frame, 'about half my hair' lost to what she called PTSD-driven stress, and a viral post about eating beans after an election loss. This dispatch collects those public posts, in her own words, with screenshots of each.

    'He believed that showing up mattered': Mace issues a press release as every other SC House Republican attends Graham's funeral

    On July 28, 2026, Sen. Lindsey Graham's casket lay in the US Capitol Rotunda and then was carried to Washington National Cathedral for his funeral. Every other South Carolina House Republican was there. Rep. Sheri Biggs and Rep. Joe Wilson presented wreaths at his casket. Reps. Russell Fry and Ralph Norman accompanied the South Carolina delegation. Rep. Nancy Mace, who spent two weeks publicly weighing a run for Graham's Senate seat and publicly clashing with him during his lifetime, did not attend. Her office issued a press release statement instead. Filing for the special election primary closed at noon the same day.

    "Not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslims": Mace's July 27 post draws 53,500 likes

    On July 27, 2026, at 7:04 PM ET, Rep. Nancy Mace posted on her personal X account, @NancyMace: 'Not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslims.' The post drew roughly 53,500 likes and 7,440 replies. It is the latest entry in a pattern of Mace statements about Muslims and Islam that runs from a June 2026 H-E-B endorsement through a November 2025 'Stop Muslim radicals' fundraising email to her own Muslim Brotherhood legislation, alongside her repeated line that opposing 'radical Islam' and Sharia law 'isn't Islamophobia.'

    "If you think your child is trans, your child should be removed from your home to safety": Mace's July 26 post

    On July 26, 2026, at 2:55 PM ET, Rep. Nancy Mace posted on her personal X account, @NancyMace: 'If you think your child is trans, your child should be removed from your home to safety.' The standalone post, carrying no article or event, drew roughly 8,300 likes and about 400 replies. It is one of a cluster of Mace statements about transgender people posted across late July 2026, and sits atop a record that runs from her November 2024 Capitol bathroom resolution through her September 2025 'straitjacket' remarks.

    "Federally Sanctioned Segregation": Mace Moves to Dissolve the Congressional Black Caucus on Her Way Out the Door

    Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a House resolution to dissolve the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, calling them 'federally sanctioned segregation.' The CBC fired back that Mace has 'repeatedly made racist and bigoted comments about minority communities' during her tenure.

    'It hasn't happened yet, has it?': Mace, smiling, calls out Trump's broken 50 percent electricity promise on camera

    Stopped outside the Capitol by a MeidasTouch reporter and asked what her constituents are saying about affordability, Rep. Nancy Mace rattled off rising groceries, electricity, mortgages and rent, then finished the reporter's sentence about President Trump's pledge to cut power bills: 'By 50 percent. It hasn't happened yet, has it?' She smiled and turned away. The clip, posted July 22, 2026 and shared across X by @Acyn, landed two days after Trump's own self-imposed deadline to halve electricity prices passed with residential rates up about 18 percent instead.

    "How self-loathing are they": Mace asks "how many Jews voted for Mamdani," doubles down when Piers Morgan calls it "an extraordinary charge." Israel's UN ambassador, asked twice, declines to agree.

    On the July 22, 2026 episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Rep. Nancy Mace reacted to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's call for the federal government to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu by asking "how many Jews voted for Mamdani," calling Jewish New Yorkers who backed him "self-loathing," and saying she is perplexed by "this guy coming to America eight years ago from Kampala." Mamdani moved to New York in 1999, at age 7; eight years ago matches his 2018 naturalization, not his arrival. When Morgan called her words "an extraordinary charge," Mace repeated them. Later in the same episode Morgan put her quote to Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon twice; Danon declined to agree both times.

    "Not Chopping Their Dicks Off": Mace's Entire On-Camera Answer on Military Healthcare. Her Amendment Was Later Stripped Anyway.

    Rep. Nancy Mace celebrated a House vote restricting TRICARE gender-affirming care coverage by posting "Our military should be focused on troop readiness, not chopping their dicks off", then yelled at a Democratic colleague on the House floor and followed up by attacking her nose on social media.

    One day after quitting the race, Nancy Mace endorses Ralph Norman and snubs Trump's pick for Graham's Senate seat

    One day after ruling out her own Senate bid, Rep. Nancy Mace endorsed Rep. Ralph Norman for the South Carolina special election on July 21, 2026, breaking publicly with President Trump, who had endorsed Lindsey Graham's sister Darline Graham Nordone on July 17. Norman accepted the endorsement while pledging to 'stand with President Trump,' the same president whose candidate he and Mace are now both running against. Filing opens today and closes July 28, with the primary set for August 11.

    Two threat sentencings in one day: the woman who sent kill texts went home until prison. The teenager who posted one tweet sat in jail 14 months.

    On July 21, 2026, both pending threat cases against Nancy Mace ended. Shayla Addison, who sent five kill texts, a bomb-threat email, and two Instagram comments and had a record of nearly identical threats, was never jailed pretrial and got 27 months. Samuel Cain, a Greenville trans teenager who posted a single tweet that agencies reportedly could not tie to any weapon or plan, had already served roughly 14 months without bond and left with house arrest, five years of probation, and a permanent internet ban. Mace posted through all of it.

    "When was your gender revealed?": Mace's five minutes with the Smithsonian's American History director

    Nancy Mace spent her five minutes at the House DOGE subcommittee's Smithsonian hearing demanding yes-or-no answers from Dr. Anthea Hartig, the PhD historian who has led the National Museum of American History since 2019. On video, verbatim: 'what is a woman,' 'when was your gender revealed,' and a diary she called 'featuring a six-year-old' that the museum says was written by a 13-year-old.

    "South Carolina, I'm in": Russell Fry becomes the fourth Republican to enter the race for Lindsey Graham's Senate seat

    Rep. Russell Fry (SC-7) announced a bid for the U.S. Senate on X at 8:01 a.m. ET on July 20, 2026, becoming the fourth declared Republican in the special election for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's seat, joining Mark Lynch, Duke Buckner, and Rep. Ralph Norman. Fry, 41, unseated five-term incumbent Tom Rice in a 2022 primary after Rice voted to impeach President Trump; Trump has praised Fry as 'outstanding' but has not endorsed him, having already backed interim Sen. Darline Graham Nordone. Candidate filing does not open until noon Tuesday, July 21, so none of the four declared candidates, or anyone else, has filed yet. About an hour after Fry declared, Rep. Nancy Mace posted an objection to dual candidacies, writing that 'if you're running for two offices at once, you've already told us who you are' and that she 'will never hand Hakeem Jeffries that gift.' She named no one, but on the facts as they stand only Fry fits: he won his SC-7 primary on June 9 and is already the Republican nominee for that seat, so he would appear on the November ballot for both offices, while Norman did not file for House reelection after running for governor. Mace has still not announced a decision of her own.

    "I'm not chasing another title, I'm chasing justice": Nancy Mace rules out the Senate race, and with it, public office

    On July 20, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace announced in a 64-second video on X that she will not enter the special election for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's Senate seat. 'I want to be straight with you. I'm not running for the US Senate, not because I'm backing down from a fight, but because the one I'm already in matters right now.' The announcement came three days after President Trump endorsed Graham's sister, interim Sen. Darline Graham Nordone, for the full term. Combined with her June 10 decision not to seek re-election to the House, Mace is now set to leave public office when her term ends in January 2027. This dispatch reproduces the video statement in full, verbatim, alongside the separate written statement she posted with it.

    "If you're running for two offices at once, you've already told us who you are": Nancy Mace objects to sitting House members seeking the Senate, without naming Russell Fry

    Fifty-nine minutes after Rep. Russell Fry announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate on July 20, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace posted a standalone statement on X, without naming Fry: 'If you're running for two offices at once, you've already told us who you are. That's not about politics anymore - that's about power.' She grounded the objection in House math, warning that a sitting Republican House member who wins the Senate seat in November vacates his seat until next May, narrowing an already thin majority, and writing 'I will never hand Hakeem Jeffries that gift.' Mace is not on the November 2026 ballot herself: she lost the June 9 Republican gubernatorial primary, did not seek reelection to her House seat, and has said her House term ends in January 2027.

    "I would be an idiot not to at least look at it": filing for Lindsey Graham's Senate seat opens Tuesday, and Nancy Mace has seven days

    Candidate filing for the special election to fill the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's seat opens Tuesday, July 21, 2026 and closes one week later, July 28. Rep. Ralph Norman formally entered the race July 18, defying President Trump's endorsement of interim Sen. Darline Graham Nordone. Businessman Mark Lynch has also declared. Rep. Nancy Mace has not filed, has not announced, and has not closed the door, telling Fox News on July 12, 'I would be an idiot not to at least look at it.' This dispatch catalogs the filing calendar, the interim appointment, Nordone's July 18 tribute letter to her brother, Trump's 'RUN, DARLINE, RUN!' endorsement, the Emerson College poll showing Mace at 10 percent, and her own July 12 statements verbatim.

    "The one I'm already in": Mace's Senate withdrawal was a statement about the case, made under a gag order that has never been lifted

    Rep. Nancy Mace's July 20, 2026 announcement that she will not run for the Senate was, in both the video and the written statement, an announcement about litigation. She said she was leaving the race 'not because I'm backing down from a fight, but because the one I'm already in matters right now,' told supporters she has 'unfinished business,' and dated that business to the day she 'stood on that House floor.' That was February 10, 2025, when she named four men and told them they had 'bought yourself a one-way ticket to hell.' Three of those men are parties to Berg v. Bryant, where a gag order barring comment on the case was extended indefinitely in December 2025 and, on the documentary record, has never been vacated, dissolved, or found expired. It has also never been enforced. Mace contends it is unconstitutional.

    "Which version of Nancy Mace will we get?": a nonbinary creator turns Mace's Senate flirtation into a software-update bit

    On July 19, 2026, the YouTube and TikTok creator who posts as @defenestrans published an 85-second Short arguing that Nancy Mace's politics track her audience rather than her convictions, staged as a running joke about software updates. 'Nancy Mace has successfully upgraded to MAGA 5.0,' the host says, before running through 'Factory settings Nancy, District 1 Nancy, Governor's race Nancy, Senate DLC Nancy' and closing: 'I think she just has auto update on, and somehow every new version has more bugs than the last.' Two factual claims in the clip check out: Mace finished fifth in the June 9 Republican gubernatorial primary with 12.1 percent, and she has said on the record she will look at Lindsey Graham's Senate seat. The characterizations are the creator's own; Mace has not responded to the video.

    Trump endorses Lindsey Graham's sister for a full Senate term, and puts Nancy Mace's decision in a harder box

    President Trump endorsed Sen. Darline Graham Nordone for a full six-year term on July 17, 2026, the same day Axios reported that Rep. Nancy Mace is still considering a Senate bid despite the endorsement. The move closes the appointment lane Mace had been eyeing and forces a choice: run against Trump's chosen candidate in a primary where she trails at 10 percent, or stand down. This dispatch catalogs the full timeline, from Mace's 'I would be an idiot not to at least look at it' media tour on July 12, to her team's viability polling, to the Emerson poll showing her tied for third at 10 percent, to Trump's endorsement of Graham's sister.

    First poll after Graham's death puts Nancy Mace at 10 percent, tied for third, as pollster says 'no candidate begins as a clear favorite'

    The first poll taken after Sen. Lindsey Graham's death, an Emerson College Polling survey for Nexstar Media fielded July 14 to 15, found no clear front-runner in the Republican scramble for his South Carolina Senate seat. Rep. Nancy Mace drew 10 percent, tied for third with Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and behind Rep. Ralph Norman (16 percent) and businessman Mark Lynch (13 percent). No candidate reached 20 percent, and 'undecided' led the entire field at 18 percent.

    "If you import the third world, you will become the third world": Mace's Third World Immigration Moratorium Act

    On July 15, 2026, four days after Lindsey Graham's death and as she weighs a run for his Senate seat, Nancy Mace introduced the Third World Immigration Moratorium Act, a bill that would bar entry of aliens from 39 designated countries plus holders of Palestinian Authority travel documents, codifying President Trump's travel-ban proclamation into permanent statute. Her press release framed it as moving to 'slam the door,' and her own words went further: 'If you import the third world, you will become the third world.'

    Nancy Mace Answers Boosie Badazz After Her Name Surfaces in a $600,000 Pardon-Scam Claim

    A NOTUS investigation published July 13, 2026 reported that rapper Boosie Badazz paid Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman about $600,000 on the promise of a presidential pardon, and that Wohl invoked a list of MAGA-aligned names, including Nancy Mace, as having endorsed the effort. Most named figures denied involvement or stayed silent, and Mace's office declined to comment to NOTUS. A day later, when Boosie publicly called out the same names on X, Mace was the one who replied and offered to connect him with her office staff.

    Prediction Markets Put Nancy Mace Near the Floor in the Graham-Seat Scramble

    Across Kalshi, Polymarket, Manifold, and PredictIt snapshots checked July 13, Nancy Mace was priced as a long-shot in the South Carolina Senate special-election scramble, ranging from tiny fractions of a percent on Polymarket to 3 cents on Kalshi and roughly 1.4 percent on Manifold. PredictIt showed 10 cents, but its stale order book made that a weak signal rather than a clean consensus.

    Mace honors Lindsey Graham after months of public clashes: 'We did not always agree'

    After Sen. Lindsey Graham died at 71 from what his office described as a brief and sudden illness, Nancy Mace posted a respectful Instagram tribute calling him a South Carolina giant and acknowledging, 'We did not always agree.' The post landed against a recent public record of friction: during her 2026 governor campaign, Mace demanded that President Trump remove Graham from the Situation Room over Iran, attacked him as sending 'someone else's kids to war,' and months earlier fired back after Graham backed Tim Scott's rebuke of her Charleston airport conduct. The longer arc stretches back to 2014, when Mace challenged Graham in the Republican U.S. Senate primary and finished fifth.

    Townhall says Mace is 'already talking' about taking over Graham's Senate seat

    Within hours of Sen. Lindsey Graham's death, Nancy Mace was already publicly and privately linked to the scramble for his Senate seat. Axios reported she was 'strongly considering' a run. Fox aired her saying she would 'be an idiot' not to look at the opportunity. Then Mace posted a Godfather clip with the line, 'Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in...' Townhall, writing from conservative media, framed the speed more harshly: 'Just hours after' Graham's passing, 'vultures' in South Carolina politics were already scheming for the empty seat.

    'I would be an idiot not to': how Nancy Mace's answer on Lindsey Graham's Senate seat changed across one Sunday

    Sen. Lindsey Graham died late Saturday night, July 11, 2026. By Sunday, Rep. Nancy Mace was on CBS, Fox, CNN and her own X account, and her answer on whether she would run for his Senate seat kept moving. She led with grief ('we're stunned'), posted a Godfather meme at 9:43 AM ('they pull me back in'), told Fox 'I'm never going to shut the door' and 'I would be an idiot not to at least look at it,' told CBS 'I would be remiss if I didn't at least consider it,' and by that afternoon told CNN 'we can't afford to lose any seats in the House, I'm not pursuing it' before adding 'there will be time to decide.'

    A 'Mace for Senate' domain has sat registered since 2023, its owner hidden behind private WHOIS

    A reader sent Maceopedia an ICANN registration-data lookup for maceforsenate.com. The public record shows the domain was created on August 24, 2023, nearly two years before Lindsey Graham's death opened a South Carolina Senate seat that Nancy Mace is now publicly weighing. Whoever registered it has kept their identity private: the registrant name, organization, and phone are all redacted, and the domain serves no website. Maceopedia independently confirmed the record against Verisign's authoritative RDAP database.

    Trump allies say they can 'block Rep. Nancy Mace' from Graham seat appointment

    As Nancy Mace's team explored a fast run for the Senate seat left open by Lindsey Graham's death, the sharper signal came from Trump's orbit. Politico reporter Meredith Lee Hill posted that Trump allies said they would be able to 'block Rep. Nancy Mace' from the seat, while Political Wire's excerpt framed it as blocking her from the appointment and privately pointed to her public clashes with Trump. The report landed the same morning Trump said on Meet the Press that he already had 'somebody' in mind for the vacancy, though Gov. Henry McMaster formally controls the interim appointment.

    'Just needs a little filler in her face': Mace mocks Charlize Theron amid Ozempic rumors, months after telling Politico she was 'totally broken'

    After Charlize Theron drew a wave of Ozempic speculation and health-concern commentary for looking noticeably thinner at the July 8, 2026 Paris premiere of 'The Odyssey,' Nancy Mace joined the pile-on. Replying on July 10 to a post mocking the actress, Mace wrote: 'Just needs a little filler in her face. She'll be fine.' The line lands against a record Mace built herself. In a February 2026 Politico profile she said she got nine tattoos 'in rapid succession' as 'the pain that I need to feel' and called herself 'totally broken,' and her own former consultant testified under oath that during that stretch she was 'drinking too much, and losing a ton of weight.' Her office has said how she chooses to heal 'is her decision alone.' This dispatch places her public words side by side and takes no position on anyone's health.

    'You really believe that?': NewsNation's Leland Vittert fact-checks Mace in real time as she goes '100% deep state' on the UFO files

    On July 10, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace went on NewsNation's 'On Balance' to talk about the Pentagon's latest UFO file release, and host Leland Vittert spent the segment pushing back on her. When Mace claimed 'three-letter agencies' are blocking UAP documents, Vittert pressed: 'Come on, you really believe that?' and asked whether she really believed that over 80 years these agencies 'have managed to keep secrets from everybody, and nobody has ever spoken out.' Mace answered, 'I 100% think the deep state,' and said it hides information 'not only from the American public, but from elected officials.' Earlier she called one released video 'a cluster of balloons,' said 'I'm not an expert in this,' and later conceded she had 'seen no proof' of aliens. Her words and the host's skepticism are reproduced here in full so readers can judge.

    Pro Se: Nancy Mace has lost her lawyers again, this time in her own defamation suit against Eric Bowman

    On July 6, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace filed a Motion to Lift Stay in her own defamation case against Eric Bowman, and she filed it pro se, representing herself. On the coversheet she crossed out the entire 'Plaintiff's Attorney' block by hand, wrote 'N/A,' and wrote 'Pro Se.' The motion states she 'is now proceeding pro se in this matter, as reflected in the Notice filed June 30, 2026.' It is the second time in this cluster of cases she has gone without counsel. The three attorneys who filed and briefed the Bowman case for her, local counsel Andrew B. Moorman, Sr. and the two Washington lawyers she brought in pro hac vice, William M. Sullivan, Jr. and Alex G. Anderson, are no longer her counsel of record. A separate notice filed the same day names all three and asks the Clerk of Court to remove them. The complete eight-page motion, and the counsel-withdrawal notice, are reproduced below. Allegations on every side are contested and unproven; Bowman denies Mace's claims and has moved to dismiss, and Mace denies Bowman's.

    "Plans to give you hope and a future": Mace posts a Sunday scripture verse, and the reply thread answers back

    At 9:00 AM on Sunday, July 5, 2026, Nancy Mace posted Jeremiah 29:11 to X, a serene verse about the Lord's plans 'to prosper you and not to harm you.' The reply thread answered with a pile-on: hypocrisy jabs, scripture thrown back at her, 'MAGA Jesus is not Jesus,' and a handful of amens. Scripture posting is a documented, years-long habit for Mace, and Sunday morning is one of its most consistent slots. This dispatch catalogs the post and the public reaction, lays out the competing readings of why she posts these verses, and takes no position on Mace's medical or psychological state.

    'There's no other route': Mace's own cited Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship lays out a third option she didn't mention

    Three days after the Supreme Court struck down Trump's birthright-citizenship executive order in Trump v. Barbara, Mace told followers a constitutional amendment is 'the only way' to fix the issue and that 'there's no other route.' The ruling she was citing includes a third path she left out: Justice Kavanaugh's separate opinion arguing Congress could rewrite the existing citizenship statute without touching the Constitution at all, though the majority and legal commentators dispute whether that route would actually survive review.

    You don't know anything about MKUltra, which is the purpose of this hearing.

    At a June 30, 2026 House Oversight hearing convened specifically to examine the CIA's MKUltra program, Rep. Nancy Mace spent roughly the first two of her five allotted minutes questioning the hearing's non-MKUltra witness about Anthony Fauci, COVID-19 origins, and vaccine side effects. When the witness told her, eight separate times, that the subject was outside her expertise, Mace told her: 'You don't know anything about MKUltra, which is the purpose of this hearing.' Only then, with most of her time gone, did she turn to the witnesses who were actually there to discuss MKUltra.

    Was this the voyeurism Nancy Mace was talking about?

    Nancy Mace posted that voyeurism is a real issue. The clearest test of what she means is her own May 20, 2025 House Oversight hearing, which she titled 'Breach of Trust: Surveillance in Private Spaces,' where she held up a poster-sized still she said showed her own body and called it nonconsensual hidden surveillance. Maceopedia asks the narrower public-record question her hearing never answered: was that a hidden camera in a private space, or footage from a room with open windows facing a public or shared space? The two are not the same factual claim, and voyeurism turns on the difference.

    In an X thread, Mace says the amount should be higher. The public-record receipt says the earlier number was tied to photos.

    After Maceopedia resurfaced the Berg-call line about '150K each,' Rep. Nancy Mace replied that the amount 'should be more' and connected the thread to 'what was done to me and others.' The public-record receipt matters because the recorded call discusses a civil lawsuit, photos, and money, not an adjudicated criminal finding.

    Trump endorses both SC runoff candidates: 'These were the two that I was hoping would get into a Runoff'

    On June 19, 2026, four days before the June 23 South Carolina Republican gubernatorial runoff, President Trump posted on Truth Social that rather than choose between the two candidates still standing, Lt. Gov. Pam Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson, he would endorse both. He wrote that 'these were the two that I was hoping would get into a Runoff, and they did.' Neither is Nancy Mace, who finished fifth (about 12.1 percent) in the June 9 primary and has said her vote to release the Epstein files cost her Trump's support. The Washington Post had reported on June 16 that Trump was weighing exactly this dual endorsement. Post & Courier reporter Caitlin Byrd surfaced the post.

    On June 18, 2026, nine days after conceding fifth place in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, Nancy Mace recirculated a clip from Tommy G's February 25, 2026 YouTube documentary on the Epstein files, paired with a post declaring a 'two-tiered system of justice' and 'no faith' that co-conspirators will ever be jailed. The clip is nearly four months old; she surfaced it days after framing her defeat as the price of her Epstein-files vote. This dispatch catalogs the posts as public artifacts and takes no position on Mace's medical or psychological state.

    "Radical transgender experiments": Nancy Mace's "TRANS MICE Act" goes to war with the transgenic lab mice scientists use to study cancer

    On June 18, 2026, Nancy Mace promoted her 'TRANS MICE Act' on X, declaring that 'animals should not be used for radical transgender experiments' and calling it 'ideological cruelty.' The bill, H.R.4512, is real. So is the problem: the mice are transgenic, not transgender. Transgenic mice are genetically modified rodents used to study cancer, endometriosis, infertility and other diseases. Scientists and the research-advocacy group Americans for Medical Progress say the studies have nothing to do with gender identity. The post went viral as a self-own; the photo Mace attached is a standard transgenic research mouse.

    A federal magistrate recommends sending the case Mace removed to federal court back to state court, finding her pro se removal 'untimely': 'it is RECOMMENDED that Bryant's Motion to Remand be GRANTED and that the case be REMANDED to state court.'

    On June 17, 2026, U.S. Magistrate Judge Molly H. Cherry issued a Report and Recommendation in the case Rep. Nancy Mace removed to federal court (Berg v. Bryant, docketed federally as No. 2:26-cv-00305-BHH-MHC), recommending that the case be remanded to state court. The recommendation is procedural, not a ruling on the truth of anyone's allegations: the magistrate found that Mace, who removed the case and briefed the remand motion pro se, was on notice the case was removable by December 12, 2025, so her January 29, 2026 removal of the entire case was untimely. A Report and Recommendation is not a final order; the parties have 14 days to object, and U.S. District Judge Bruce Howe Hendricks will make the final decision. The underlying allegations are disputed and contested; Mace denies Bryant's claims, and Bryant denies Mace's.

    Court appoints former Judge Kristi Harrington as third-party neutral to sort the 11,000+ disputed files in Mace's Google Drive

    On June 16, 2026, Judge Donald B. Hocker appointed Kristi Harrington, a Charleston attorney and former South Carolina Circuit Court judge, to serve as a 'third-party neutral' in Assignment Desk Works, LLC v. Alexis Berg (Charleston County Court of Common Pleas, No. 2025-CP-10-2671), one of the cluster of cases tied to Rep. Nancy Mace and her former fiance, Patrick Bryant. Harrington's task is to review the more than 11,000 electronic files in what the court calls 'Mace's Google Drive,' files that both Mace and Bryant claim to own, and decide which, if any, must be turned over in discovery. The court split her fees between the two camps, warned the volume could make the process 'very cost-prohibitive,' and entered the order over Mace's objection. The order makes no finding on privilege, admissibility, ownership, or wrongdoing; the underlying allegations remain contested and unproven.

    'Buried the hatchet': after finishing fifth, Mace concedes the governor's race and endorses Alan Wilson, the rival she spent months branding a 'p*dophile protector'

    On the night of June 9, 2026, after finishing fifth in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary with about 11.4% of the vote, Nancy Mace conceded and endorsed the man who advanced to the June 23 runoff, Attorney General Alan Wilson. 'I want a law-and-order governor, and that law-and-order governor is going to be Alan Wilson,' she told supporters, saying that 'in the last couple of weeks, Alan Wilson and I have buried the hatchet.' The endorsement reversed a year of attacks: as recently as November 3, 2025 she had called Wilson a 'p*dophile protector' on X. Wilson has rejected those attacks, his office said Mace 'drastically mischaracterized' prosecution data, and nothing in the exchange is a finding about either man's conduct.

    On primary morning, Mace recast a volunteer's megaphone grab as a 'physical assault' by Pamela Evette's 'employees'

    On June 9, 2026, the day South Carolina Republicans voted in their gubernatorial primary, Rep. Nancy Mace spent the morning posting about something that had happened the night before outside a rival's campaign stop in Greer. Across three accounts, before 9:15 a.m., she called it a 'physical assault' by 'one of Pamela Evette's employees,' a 'violent' act, and grounds for Evette to 'drop out of the race.' The Greer Police Department incident report describes the same event more narrowly: a man 'ran up to' a protester 'who was holding a megaphone and ripped the megaphone out of his hands,' then handed it to the officers already standing there. The charge was misdemeanor assault and battery in the third degree, citation issued on scene. Evette's campaign said the man, Blake Kirsch, was an unpaid volunteer on its finance committee, not a staffer, and condemned the conduct. Local stations led with 'volunteer' and 'megaphone snatched.' Mace finished last in the primary that day.

Pamela Evette's campaign finance committee, Blake Kirsch, ran up to a man legally protesting outside an Evette campaign event in Greer, ripped a megaphone from his hands, and handed it to the police officers already on scene. Greer PD cited him for misdemeanor assault and battery in the third degree and booked him 'without incident.' On primary day, June 9, Rep. Nancy Mace turned the episode into an all-morning social-media offensive, calling it a 'physical assault' by Evette's 'employees' and demanding Evette 'drop out of the race.' Evette's campaign said Kirsch was an unpaid volunteer, not staff, and condemned the conduct; he resigned from the finance committee. Local stations led with 'volunteer' and 'megaphone snatched.'
