NEW: Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who once said Trump needs to be “held accountable” for January 6, announces she is running for governor of South Carolina.
In her speech to kick off her campaign, Mace, who reportedly once fundraised with Liz Cheney, said she is “tired of politicians who smile for the cameras, lie to your face, and then vanish when it’s time to lead.”
During a campaign speech in 2022, Trump ripped “crazy Nancy Mace” for being a “horrendous RINO.”

Nikki Haley calls on Donald Trump to unite the GOP party and earn her share of voters’ support.
“Politics is about bringing people into your cause…this is now his choosing.”
Nikki Haley was the first candidate into the arena to challenge Donald Trump, and knocked everyone else out of the race.
@NikkiHaley is a Patriot and a friend who ran a great campaign, and made sure it was the voters, not the media or party elites, that had the final say.
Upon suspending her campaign, Nikki Haley again makes the case for the GOP to be a story of addition:
“At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for choosing.”
