The Washington Post traces Nancy Mace's 'rough downfall' to her fifth-place primary loss, and former allies, including Kevin McCarthy, go on the record: 'I just watched her change'
In a June 10, 2026 post-mortem, The Washington Post's Natalie Allison reports that Nancy Mace's fifth-place finish in the June 9 South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, a loss in which she failed to carry even her own home county and district, capped what the paper calls a 'rough downfall.' Drawing on more than a dozen former aides, colleagues and supporters, several speaking on the record, the piece quotes former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ('the only thing I hope is she gets the help she needs') and former Mace staff describing burned bridges and chaos. Mace did not return the Post's requests for comment, has previously denied former-staff criticism, and attributes her defeat to her vote to release the Epstein files. Allegations involving named parties remain contested and unadjudicated; those parties deny them.

Ex-aides dispute Rep. Nancy Mace's claims that staff 'sabotaged' her
The Washington Post reported on May 10, 2024 that Rep. Nancy Mace had accused former members of her congressional staff of sabotaging her office, including claims that ex-aides hacked her phone, mismanaged the budget, spied on her children, and tried to destroy office devices. Former staffers interviewed by the Post vehemently disputed Mace's account, pushing back on each allegation. The exchange extended a long-running national story about the unusually high turnover in Mace's office.
