The US representative Nancy Mace, a Republican firefighter from South Carolina, officially entered the Governor 2026 race and launched his campaign with a defiant message and video run from President Donald Trump.
Nancy Mace (47) is currently represented by the 1st Congress District of South Carolina and is an important personality in the national Republican policy. The Mace, which announced its candidacy on Monday, undertook to fight crime, against “gender ideology” and favored the interests of South Carolina.
“South Carolina doesn’t need another empty suit. She needs a warrior,” she said at her start of the campaign.

She won Magna Cum Laude and later received a master’s degree in journalism and mass communication from the University of Georgia.

Despite his rocky history, Trump approved her in the 2024 elections and appears in his video with the start of the campaign and called it a “fighter”.
In Washington, MACE focused on conservative fiscal policy, environmental protection against sea drilling and nuance on social issues – including rape support and exceptions in abortion laws, quoting her own experience as a surviving sexual attack.
