But, as My Horry News put it, “plans seemingly changed” once she walked into a room of mostly empty chairs. The speech was scrapped, with a member of her team telling reporters that Mace would take questions from the media before she met individually with the attendees.

In remarks to reporters, she declared that the county “makes presidents” before claiming that her campaign is “winning by double digits everywhere, but particularly with folks who support the president,” per Charleston’s ABC affiliate.

Mace “personally put her poll” on the president’s “radar,” sources told NBC News, and her team shared the results with Trump officials prior to the post.

GOP primary polling conducted prior to Mace announcing her gubernatorial bid showed 16% of Republican-identifying voters supporting the South Carolina congresswoman, a slight edge over South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, who had 15% support.

At the time, 52% of respondents indicated that they were still undecided.

The speech cancellation arrives just weeks after Mace —who has used her time in the House, in part, to obsess over trans women using the women’s bathroom — kicked off what she called the “Mother of All Town Halls” tour in Myrtle Beach, an event that reportedly packed the Veterans Café and Grill.

In her remarks, she claimed that she would “debate anyone,” although those who arrived at the event with shirts “reflecting their opposition” to her were asked to leave before she started her speech, NBC News reported.
