WHO WILL BE TRUMP'S VP? See What Rep. Nancy Mace Said about her Possibility of Being on Trump's VP Shortlist

In a recent interview on “The Daily Show” with Charlamagne Tha God, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) expressed her interest in the possibility of being on former President Trump’s shortlist for running mate, calling it “intriguing.” Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, discussed the potential historic significance of having women on the Republican ticket, emphasizing the importance of inspiring young girls to aim for the highest political offices.

“I think it’s intriguing. It’s interesting,” Mace remarked during the interview. “It’s a conversation we need to have because I want my little girl to know that she can be president one day.”

Mace went on to highlight her commitment to women’s issues and her desire to see more women, especially Republicans, in prominent political positions. “I want to see Republicans put women on the ticket: vice president, presidential. I mean, I want to see that happen because I want little girls everywhere to know that they too can be president one day,” she stated.

However, Mace clarified that she had not been approached by Trump regarding the possibility of being his running mate and emphasized her current focus on serving her constituents in South Carolina. “I understand why people might be talking about it,” she said. “I do a lot for women’s issues, and Republicans lost women last year. But my focus today, as it always will be — I love the Lowcountry, where you and I grew up in, and that’s where my focus is.”

Mace’s comments come in the wake of her surprising move, almost a month ago, to join seven Republicans and all Democrats in an effort to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as House Speaker. This unexpected decision raised eyebrows within the Republican party and added a layer of complexity to the ongoing political dynamics.

Former President Trump continues to maintain a strong presence in the 2024 GOP primary field, leading both national and local polls. Despite challenges from notable figures like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, Trump’s dominance raises questions about the viability of any rival candidate’s ability to garner enough support to seriously challenge his position.

As the 2024 election season looms, Mace’s intriguing contemplation adds an element of anticipation to the unfolding political landscape, leaving observers to wonder about the potential twists and turns that lie ahead in the race for the Republican ticket.
