  '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.
