Nancy Mace rejects speculation as she pushes back against rumors of a retirement meeting with Marjorie Taylor Greene in Washington

Whispers around Capitol Hill suggested that Nancy Mace and Marjorie Taylor Greene were gearing up for a sit-down next week, supposedly to air out their shared irritation with Speaker Mike Johnson.

The rumor mill spun quickly, painting the picture of two outspoken Republicans plotting their next move.

Clarifying the Buzz

But before the story could take on a life of its own, Mace stepped in to cool the narrative.

The South Carolina congresswoman pushed back on the idea that she was preparing to follow Greene’s surprising decision to head for the exit.

Mace Draws Her Line

In her usual fiery tone, Mace made it clear that while she’s not shy about criticizing party leadership when she feels it’s deserved, she has no plans to bow out of Congress.

Retirement, she insisted, is not on her agenda — and not something she’s about to be pressured into.

Parallel Frustrations, Different Futures

The overlap in discontent with Johnson may have fueled speculation, but Mace signaled that similarities end there.

Greene may be preparing to step away, but Mace wants observers to know she’s staying put, ready to keep swinging.

So, What Comes Next?

With both women navigating their own political storms, all eyes are on how these frustrations with leadership will shape the next round of intra-party drama — and whether those rumored meetings will ever actually happen.
