A top consultant and campaign manager for Nancy Mace’s run for South Carolina governor has resigned, calling her disloyal to the President, and failing to pay him for services. He urged the president and South Carolina voters to scratch her name from the list of candidates.
Austin McCubbin, a longtime Republican operative, publicly lambasted Mace in a post on X, accusing her of turning her back on Trump to “hug the political cactus that is the Rand Paul +Thomas Massie wing of the Party.”
McCubbin claimed Mace told him she directed a friend to steer a “7-figure check” to the Rand Paul aligned Protect Freedom PAC, calling her “wittingly or unwittingly a proxy for Rand Paul’s 2028 presidential campaign.”
A spokesperson for Mace, in a statement in response to McCubbin’s post, said: “Mr. McCubbin didn’t raise a dime for the campaign or better yet, never even bothered showing up. When he demanded $10,000 a month for ‘services’ and was told no, he ran straight to X. Good luck with that.”
Mace has been desperately trying to get Trump’s endorsement for the race.
Hold the line, South Carolina!!
