Republicans who sided with Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in the recent effort to oust him as speaker are focusing part of their anger on Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) after she joined the group of Republican hardliners who opposed him. According to Politico, that decision is now "clouding" her political future.
“It’s disgraceful,” said Rep. Steve Womack (R-AR). “If the purpose is because it’s going to help me build my brand and gonna bring a little bit more money to my campaign, then I think you need to question why you’re here.”
According to Politico's report, "revenge is on the menu" for some segments of the GOP in regards to Mace.
