Support for Trump

Despite prior criticisms of Trump, Mace asserted that her decision to support him in the upcoming elections was straightforward, particularly when juxtaposed with President Joe Biden’s performance.

Personal Considerations

While acknowledging the allure of running alongside Trump, Mace humbly downplayed her own prospects, citing the rarity of House members ascending to the vice presidency. She emphasized her dedication to serving South Carolina constituents.

Endorsement for Tim Scott

Mace endorsed Sen. Tim Scott as a standout candidate for the VP slot, citing his extensive experience and popularity. Scott, a seasoned senator and former presidential contender, garnered praise from Mace for his qualifications and widespread appeal.

Preference over Nikki Haley

When questioned about her preference for Trump over former Gov. Nikki Haley, Mace conveyed her admiration for Haley’s tenure but underscored Trump’s resonance with South Carolinians. She speculated on the possibility of Trump selecting a female candidate for the ticket.

Electoral Dynamics

Trump’s resounding victory in the South Carolina primary affirmed his strong support within the state, despite Haley’s competitive showing. While Haley vowed to persist in the race, Trump’s triumph underscored his enduring popularity among Republican voters.
