'I would be an idiot not to': how Nancy Mace's answer on Lindsey Graham's Senate seat changed across one Sunday
Sen. Lindsey Graham died late Saturday night, July 11, 2026. By Sunday, Rep. Nancy Mace was on CBS, Fox, CNN and her own X account, and her answer on whether she would run for his Senate seat kept moving. She led with grief ('we're stunned'), posted a Godfather meme at 9:43 AM ('they pull me back in'), told Fox 'I'm never going to shut the door' and 'I would be an idiot not to at least look at it,' told CBS 'I would be remiss if I didn't at least consider it,' and by that afternoon told CNN 'we can't afford to lose any seats in the House, I'm not pursuing it' before adding 'there will be time to decide.' Every line is verbatim from her July 12 appearances, reproduced here so readers can judge.
