Nancy Mace's unpredictable career is up in the air after finishing last in South Carolina primary

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) After a decade of roiling South Carolina and national politics, Rep. Nancy Mace finished a distant fifth in her state's Republican primary for governor, leaving an uncertain future for one of the nation's unabashed politicians.
Her campaign mirrored her whipsaw career. Mace courted the support of President Donald Trump after harshly criticizing him over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. She emphasized her fights with other Republicans to release files from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
In the final days before Tuesday's primary, she called for a law to prevent anyone not born in the U.S. from holding political office or serving as a judge. She suggested that Rom Reddy, another candidate for governor, wasn't qualified because he was a naturalized citizen whose mother was from India and father from Italy.

I'll give her this one, though-- she was the prefect chairwoman for the House Subcommittee on Little Green Men from Mars.

At least, if Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman are any indication. They maintained some celebrity for a few weeks or months, but that's it. It's too soon to know whether Noem and MTG will suffer the same fate.
