Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace is sounding the alarm—she’s worried her party is headed for defeat in the House this fall and says efforts to keep the majority have simply missed the mark.
Mace, who’s gearing up to ditch her seat for a shot at South Carolina’s governorship, didn’t mince words during a Newsmax interview early Wednesday: when pressed about GOP prospects come November, she bluntly confessed, “No—I just don’t think we’re doing enough.”

US Rep Nancy Mace (SC) talks with media after a bond hearing at the Greenville County Magistrate’s Court in Greenville, SC Friday, May 16, 2025. Samuel Theodore Cain was denied bond by the Judge James Hudson.
The mounting Republican panic comes as the House reels from a string of exits, including the tragic loss of Rep. Doug LaMalfa and the abrupt departure of firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene. But Mace isn’t pointing fingers at Donald Trump or the party playbook—instead, she claims the real stumbling block is the Senate, which she accuses of putting the brakes on Trump’s so-called MAGA crusade. “We could have locked down tougher laws on deporting violent offenders,” Mace insisted, “but that bill has been gathering dust in the Senate for nearly a year.”

She also pivoted to health care, echoing Trump’s talking points and lavishing praise on his proposals: “He’s got the best plans!” gushed Mace, dubbing Trump ‘America’s greatest president’ and vowing to clear the way for his controversial agenda, as long as the Senate stops dragging its feet.
Meanwhile, the mood within Republican ranks is shifting. As Trump holds closed-door sessions to rally the troops, new polls spell trouble, showing his popularity plunging and voters swinging towards Democrats. Recent special elections have fueled the panic, with Democratic hopefuls shattering expectations and outperforming their rivals. With primaries just around the corner—Texas is up first in March—the pressure’s on for the GOP to turn the tide, but Mace’s candid admissions have set off fresh jitters about what November could bring.
