  • 'Ding dong the witch is gone': Nikki Haley's son toasts Mace's defeat, four years after his mother's ads helped save her seat

    Minutes after Nancy Mace conceded her fifth-place finish in the June 9, 2026 South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, Nalin Haley, the son of former governor and U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, quote-tweeted her concession with 'DING DONG THE WITCH IS GONE!,' then added 'Free at last, free at last.' The jab capped a four-year arc: in 2022 Nikki Haley cut TV ads calling Mace 'tough as nails' and 'a fighter' and helped her beat a Trump-backed primary challenger; in January 2024 Mace repaid her by endorsing Donald Trump over Haley, in Haley's home state, the day before the New Hampshire primary. The Haley camp had spent election day boosting Mace's rivals.

  • Mace endorses Trump over Haley: 'It's been a complete shit show since he left the White House'

    On January 22, 2024, Mace endorsed Donald Trump over Nikki Haley, who lives in Mace's own congressional district and had backed her in 2022, the day before the New Hampshire primary, reversing her post-January 6 declaration that Trump had no future in the GOP.
