"Kevin McCarthy's Downfall: GOP's Knives Out for Nancy Mace"

Republican Representative Nancy Mace's decision to join seven hardliners in voting against Kevin McCarthy's speakership has put her future in the GOP at risk and jeopardized her chances of re-election. McCarthy had previously supported Mace's campaign, but her move to fundraise off her vote against him has angered her colleagues. Mace's vote reflects her shifting political positions, as she has swung between Trump-centric conservatism and establishment-bucking centrism. Revenge is being considered by House Republicans, who may expel Mace from centrist-leaning groups she belonged to. Mace's vote has also attracted Democratic challengers, and it remains uncertain if the party will provide significant financial support for her campaign.
