Nancy Mace says she knew pursuing the infamous Epstein Files could cost her in the next election … but she had to try anyway.
The congresswoman took to X on Friday to acknowledge President Donald Trump endorsed her opponent, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette in the South Carolina gubernatorial race … and, while he’s not in her corner, she didn’t go directly after POTUS.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace issued the following statement to the voters of South Carolina:
“I have enormous respect for President Trump and everything he has done for our country and for South Carolina. That respect is genuine and it is unchanged.
We have a state that’s corrupt.… pic.twitter.com/tDYH7uVI7Z

She says she has tremendous respect for Trump … but adds the state and system is corrupt — and his choice for governor is part of that corruption.
Mace goes on to say she will “drain the swamp” — a popular line from President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign — willingly standing up against both political parties for the good of South Carolinans.
Then, Mace gets into Epstein … writing, “I also know I put the likelihood of an endorsement on the line when I demanded transparency on the Epstein files. I demanded it because you deserved the truth – ALL OF IT – and as a survivor, I had to get justice for these women. If this is the price of an endorsement, I will never pay it.”
Again, she doesn’t invoke Trump’s name specifically, but her meaning is clear … she went after the Epstein files — and it cost her his support. She shared a pic of herself and Trump grinning as well … with “MAGA MACE” written across the bottom.
ICYMI … Trump endorsed Lt. Gov. Evette on Truth Social Friday — hours after Mace told people there’s no way he would endorse her competition.
Mace’s campaign might be in some trouble … President Trump’s endorsements have generally led to candidates upsetting their opponents — and Mace is already polling behind several other candidates, including Evette.
