Mace’s name has been linked to Trump’s VP spot for some time, as she has been a staunch supporter of his policies. Expressing her excitement, Mace believes it is important for the Republican Party to focus on advancing women in higher offices. She hopes to inspire young girls to aspire to the presidency.
As a candidate for Congress in 2020, Mace gained support from conservatives across the country, particularly in the district won by Trump in 2016. She represents a faction of Republicans who grapple with Trump’s influence on the party. While she aligns with many of his policies, she also seeks to broaden the party’s appeal without alienating Trump’s base.
While Trump faces ongoing legal troubles, he is leading the pack for the GOP nomination. All signs point to a rematch between Trump and President Joe Biden, whose approval rating continues to decline. Former Vice President Mike Pence is not in the running for VP, but several female names have been linked to the position, including Mace, Marjorie Green-Taylor (R-GA), and Kristi Noem (R-SD).
The Republican Party is experiencing internal divisions, evident in the tumultuous removal and re-election of the House Speaker. Trump’s influence remains strong, and his choice for VP will signal the party’s direction in 2024. It is crucial for the GOP to navigate this decision strategically to maintain unity and secure a successful future.
