  Nancy Mace's 'Get Maced' bump is already fading: the subscriber growth is decelerating, the typical episode is losing viewers, and her search interest is back to baseline

  Two weeks after the tattoo-reveal spike that launched 'Get Maced,' the metrics that measure whether anyone is actually watching have turned down. Nancy Mace's subscriber growth has decelerated 41 percent, her typical episode has lost about 10 percent of its audience, and Google search interest in her name has fallen from its August peak back to single digits, all while she posts four nights a week. Her total-view count still rises, carried by a few outlier clips, and her subscriber tally still ratchets up. But the trend lines that measure real attention are cooling. If the pattern this site has documented holds, the open question is what she does next to pull the number back up.

  Mace missed another vote yesterday. The only House members skipping more are on medical leave.

  The U.S. House came back on Monday, August 31, 2026 from its five-week August recess, and Rep. Nancy Mace missed both of the first two roll-call votes, one of 42 members absent. It fits a documented pattern: Mace has missed 36.1% of all 2026 votes through August, more than one in three, against a House median near one in fifty. The only two sitting members who have missed a larger share of 2026's votes, Thomas Kean Jr. and Frederica Wilson, were both on disclosed medical leave. Mace has given no public reason for her absences.
