Republican representative from South Carolina Nancy Mace cleared out her congressional office on Thursday. She posted a selfie video walking down her office hallway as she got ready to head back home.
“Moving day,” Mace wrote in the caption.
Addressing the camera, Mace described her plan for the day.
“It is move-out day, and this is my third trip in a truck to move my things out of Washington, D.C.,” she said. “Gonna get some coffee, finish loading up the truck, go vote, and drive home.”
Mace didn’t run for re-election in South Carolina’s 1st District and decided to give up her seat to run for governor. Her campaign was unsuccessful, and she finished fifth in the Republican primary in June.
With the seat open, Democrat Nancy Lacore, a retired Navy vice admiral, narrowly beat Republican Jenny Costa Honeycutt in the November 3 election, flipping the coastal district. Mace congratulated Lacore on her victory the day after the election.
Mace won the seat for the first time in 2020 against Democratic Rep. Joe Cunningham.
This post signals the end of Mace’s tenure in Washington, but her term will continue until early January, when Lacore will be sworn in.
