Nancy Mace has a way of being in the middle of things.

Whether it's standing up to Trump after January 6th when many in her party kept quiet or helping overthrow House Speaker

Kevin McCarthy or warning Republicans about how they were wrong when it comes to the

politics of abortion. I think that sometimes our side gets it

wrong, we don't show compassion to women, in fact we attack women. But some of that

drama is catching up with Mace back home in South Carolina, which on Saturday will be

the center of the political world as voters head to the polls in the state's

presidential primary. Mace is now back in Trump's corner and even mentioned occasionally as a possible

running mate. She endorsed Trump over her two home state Republican

candidates, Tim Scott and Nicki Haley. She was a good governor. South kind of liked her as governor but South and as her Trump endorsement will pay dividends this spring in her own primary, which features not

one but two candidates at least partly motivated by revenge, a candidate backed by McCarthy, and Mace's own former chief of staff.

I spoke to Mace on Thursday and we dug into the details of her on-again-off-again history with Trump,

what she thinks of the Vip Talk, impeachment, the revenge plots playing out in her primary,

her prediction about Trump's margin of victory on Saturday, and the backstory to that time she wore a giant scarlet A on the house floor.

It was my sort of anthem to be sort of like, well, F you.

I'm Ryan Liza, this is playbook deep dive.

I don't ask this question as a criticism, but you have a way of being at the center of things.

I don't mean to.

Honestly, I don't mean to.

Last year at the congressional dinner,

you gave a very funny speech.

I remember we were talking after that
