Nancy Mace Celebrates Cory Mills’ Defeat

Rep. Nancy Mace expressed her approval of fellow Republican Cory Mills’ loss in the Florida primary. Mace posted on X, writing “Cheers” along with an emoji of clinking champagne flutes. Mace’s contentious history with Mills includes a resolution she introduced to expel him from Congress, based on accusations of sexual misconduct, which Mills denied. Despite being under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, Mills remained in the race, considering the resolution a strategy by Mace for political fundraising.

Mace will also not return to Congress next year, as she lost the GOP primary for South Carolina governor in June and is not seeking re-election.
