During a recent interview with The National News Desk, Mace was asked about the midterm elections and if there were any particular races she was keeping her eyes on.

Mace explained she's paying attention to California – which uses a jungle primary system – and said it would be interesting to see if someone "who's not Democrat can advance."

The representative went on to admit that Republicans in general may be in trouble come November.

"I got to be honest, the midterms are going to be a bloodbath, and I think it's going to be very difficult," Mace said.

"I think we're going to be swimming upstream this cycle because we haven't delivered on promises, and that's a real problem for us."

The remarks come as Mace – an on-again, off-again MAGA loyalist – gained the ire of President Donald Trump as one of the few Republicans to vote alongside Democrats to force his administration to release the files on sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein as they had repeatedly promised to do.

Despite the rift, Mace still tries desperately to appeal to MAGA.

Trump endorses Nancy Mace's primary rival

The president set Mace off last month by endorsing her primary opponent, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, over her in a social media post.

After Evette shared the news on X, Mace responded by claiming Evette was lying and shared an AI-generated video of herself with Trump in post that was quicky hit with a community note correcting her claim.

A number of MAGA Republicans – such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, and Megyn Kelly – have turned against the president over his unfulfilled campaign promises, taking particular issue with his handling of the Epstein files and his decision to wage war on Iran.
