Rep. Nancy Mace says her break with President Donald Trump could have ended her political career. In comments reported by multiple outlets, she links the possibility to disagreements connected to the handling of the released Jeffrey Epstein files, which she has described as a factor in her split with Trump. Mace also suggests she faces political setbacks, pointing to her earlier experience in a governor’s race, where she said she “got my butt beat,” according to Mediaite. The reports frame her remarks as reflective rather than definitive, emphasizing that she believes the consequences of her relationship with Trump may carry into future political prospects. One outlet reports she made the comments when asked about whether she would run for Lindsey Graham’s U.S. Senate seat, while another emphasizes her broader assessment that her political trajectory may be affected by the fallout from her dispute with Trump. Taken together, the accounts present Mace expressing uncertainty about her political future amid ongoing tensions with Trump.
