Former aides say Rep. Nancy Mace is unraveling as concerns mount behind the scenes
Rep. Nancy Mace’s penchant for spectacle and scorched-earth politics has left a trail of burned bridges — and former staffers now say they’re alarmed by what they describe as a sharp personal and professional decline. According to a New York Magazine report, even aides who disliked the South Carolina Republican say her explosive House floor speech accusing an ex-fiancé of abuse, followed by a public meltdown at a Charleston airport, marked a turning point where everything became centered on her own grievances. Former staffers described an erratic, intimidating workplace marked by excessive drinking, fixation on online attention, misuse of staff for personal errands, and behavior they believe signals deeper mental health struggles. As her standing in South Carolina’s GOP gubernatorial primary slides and a House Ethics inquiry looms, even longtime associates say the best outcome for Mace may be stepping away from politics altogether.
