Mace has increasingly broken with Republican leadership since she came to Congress. She was one of eight Republicans who voted to eject Kevin McCarthy as speaker in 2023.
She also joined a discharge petition started by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) to force a vote to disclose files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Johnson and Trump initially opposed it before they said they would support the vote, which passed almost unanimously.
She also joined a discharge petition to ban members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks. Mace criticized Johnson by comparing her to former Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“Here’s a hard truth Republicans don’t want to hear: Nancy Pelosi was a more effective House speaker than any Republican this century,” she wrote. “I agree with her on essentially nothing. But she understood something we don’t: No majority is permanent. When Democrats hold the majority, they ram through the most progressive policies they can.”
