  • 'President Trump has won the war, time to exit': Mace breaks with Trump on Iran and signals she'll vote with Democrats

    On March 26, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace told Axios that 'War with Iran needs to end. President Trump has won the war, time to exit,' and signaled she would 'most likely' vote with House Democrats on the next war powers resolution constraining the Iran war. She told Axios by text she was 'not voting to send South Carolina's sons and daughters into battle to die for the price of oil,' and warned on CNN that continuing the war could cost Republicans in the midterms. Political Wire summed the day up as 'Trump Loses Nancy Mace on the Iran War.'

  • 'Another Iraq': Mace walks out of a classified Iran briefing and tells Trump to take Lindsey Graham 'out of the Situation Room'

    On March 25, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace walked out of a classified House Armed Services Committee briefing on the Iran war and posted that she 'will not support troops on the ground in Iran, even more so after this briefing,' warning that 'the Washington War Machine' wanted to turn Iran into 'another Iraq.' The same week she demanded that President Trump remove Sen. Lindsey Graham 'from the Situation Room,' first on X and then on CNN. The posture put her against the Iran-hawk wing of her own party even as she continued to praise Trump.

  • Mace returns from a second Middle East trip with a 2,000-name manifest; separately, a mother publicly accuses Grey Bull Rescue of demanding $1M before returning her daughter

    Around March 19-20, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace completed a second evacuation trip, helping a South Carolina mother and her four sons travel out of Israel through Jordan. Mace said she held a manifest of over 2,000 stranded Americans. Separately, according to reporting attributed to Jewish Rhode Island and the Jerusalem Post, Dr. Lauren Hofstatter publicly accused Grey Bull Rescue, the nonprofit Mace embedded with, of demanding that approximately $1 million be raised before returning her daughter from Jordan. Grey Bull founder Bryan Stern denied the accusation. Mace defended the organization. The accusation is unadjudicated and is denied.

  • Anonymous White House officials blast Mace's Israel rescue missions as 'political gain'; Mace says she kept State informed throughout

    The Guardian reported on March 18, 2026, picked up by Raw Story and WTOC, that unnamed Trump White House and State Department officials were furious at Rep. Nancy Mace over her two evacuation trips to Israel. The anonymous officials alleged she contacted the Saudi government without notifying State, asked the administration to requisition a Saudi plane for ~300 people, and urged Americans toward Jordan without secured onward travel. Mace's office said she kept State informed and that State approved the DHS plane. The dispute is unresolved and every government critic spoke anonymously.

Embedding with the veteran-led nonprofit Grey Bull Rescue, she helped secure a DHS/State Department-chartered plane. On March 12 she announced that 155 Americans, including 11 infants, had been flown out to Greece.
