Mace rails against House GOP leadership in New York Times op-ed: ‘Why am I even here?’

Rep. Nancy Mace accuses GOP leaders of silencing rank-and-file members, blocking popular reforms, and marginalizing women despite GOP control of Congress, Senate, and White House.

  • On Monday, Rep. Nancy Mace published a New York Times op-ed criticizing Speaker Mike Johnson and House GOP leadership as she leaves Congress to run for South Carolina governor.
  • Frustration stems from leaders negotiating with a small group behind closed doors, which Mace said shuts down the lawmaking process, leaving the House restrictive and ineffective.
  • Mace highlighted specific blocked measures including a congressional stock trading ban, term limits, and national voter ID requirements, accusing House GOP leadership of stripping provisions and loading must-pass legislation with unrelated policies.
  • Her critique signals broader GOP discontent as House Republican Conference critics echo concerns about Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership and warn failing key legislation risks losing control next year, with voters needing transparency.
  • She contrasted GOP practice with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, writing `Here's a hard truth Republicans don't want to hear: Nancy Pelosi was a more effective House speaker than any Republican this century` and warned about women being sidelined.
