BuzzFeed's June politics photo roundup puts Nancy Mace back-to-back: the TRANS MICE Act, then the fifth-place beans post
BuzzFeed's June 2026 political-photo roundup placed Nancy Mace in consecutive slots: first for the TRANS MICE Act post that drew a transgenic-mice correction, then for her post-primary beans post after finishing fifth in the South Carolina Republican governor's race. The pairing is useful because it shows how the national internet saw the month: not as isolated posts, but as a fast sequence of spectacle, correction, campaign collapse and meme aftermath.
