Scorned Republican vows 'revenge' against Trump 'for ending' career in fierce comeback

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) shot back at President Donald Trump on Thursday, saying she would get "revenge" after the president turned on her, The Hill reported.

Mace, who lost her primary race for South Carolina's governor against a Trump-backed candidate, had a sharp response to the president.

"People keep asking me: 'Will you get revenge on Trump for ending your political career?' The answer is yes. I'll be adding to the unemployment number in January," Mace wrote on X.

Trump had endorsed South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pam Evette in the crowded gubernatorial primary race. Mace finished last in the Republican primary.

She attributed Trump's snub to her support for releasing the Epstein Files, which Trump opposed. Her term ends in January 2027.

Republican candidates Evette and Attorney General Alan Wilson will face off on June 23 in the runoff.

Actor Rob Schneider, a Trump supporter and conservative, voiced his support for Mace on Wednesday in a post on X.

"Never thought I’d get my Congressional send-off from Deuce Bigalow," Mace wrote on X. "Don’t worry sir, I promise to be more of a menace than ever. There is nothing to hold me back."
