'She was asked not to speak': Nancy Mace attends the renaming of the base in her own district, but never takes the podium
On Monday, August 10, 2026, Joint Base Charleston in North Charleston was ceremonially renamed Joint Base Lindsey Graham in honor of the late senator, who died July 11. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Gov. Henry McMaster, Sen. Darline Graham Nordone, and base commander Col. K. Michael Shirley II all spoke. Rep. Nancy Mace, whose SC-01 district includes the base and who has repeatedly claimed credit for its federal funding, attended the ceremony but had no speaking role and was not quoted by any outlet covering it. According to a current staff member, Mace was asked not to speak. She had skipped Graham's funeral on July 28, declined to run for his Senate seat, and endorsed Ralph Norman over Trump's pick, Graham's sister Darline, who spoke at the podium Mace did not.
