Feud between Mace and Mills flares as the Republicans trade barbs
CNN • • nation
Key Points:
- A personal feud between Republican Reps. Cory Mills (FL) and Nancy Mace (SC) has escalated, with both threatening expulsion measures against each other, risking GOP unity in a narrowly divided House.
- Speaker Mike Johnson opposes intra-party attacks and urges due process, noting Mills is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegations including sexual misconduct and campaign finance violations.
- Mills denies all allegations, refuses to resign, and accuses Mace of using threats as fundraising tactics without following through on expulsion efforts.
- Some Republicans, including Rep. Lauren Boebert, have not ruled out supporting an expulsion vote against Mills, though such a measure requires a two-thirds majority to pass.
- The ongoing dispute and investigations come at a critical time as GOP leadership seeks to maintain its slim majority and advance legislative priorities.
