Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) says she’s planning on bringing her “Trump in high heels” demeanor to the 2026 governor’s race.

“To follow President Trump’s agenda, we have a real opportunity in 2026 to deliver America-first policy state by state in the midterm elections,” she told NewsNation Monday. “We need governors who are going to take that lead and implement those policies.”

Mace shared she’s hoping to earn an endorsement from Trump.

“He is a kingmaker, in this case, a possible queenmaker in the race for governor of South Carolina,” she explained. “We’re also unveiling policies that Donald Trump, I believe, will support, and we’re going to work hard to earn his endorsement, to earn support.”

The U.S. representative went on to argue that her political approach isn’t overly “combative.”
