Bill Cassidy\u2019s primary loss last month meant that, of the 17 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in the House (10) or convict him in the Senate (7) in 2021, a maximum of three will remain in Congress next year.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Mace\u2019s loss on Tuesday follows the discharge petition that she and three other House Republicans signed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from Congress earlier this year after repeatedly breaking with Trump on Epstein and other issues. And Trump last month marshalled a furious \u2013 and ultimately successful \u2013 primary campaign to oust Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, a leader of the discharge petition.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump has also targeted the fourth signer of the petition, Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert \u2014 especially when she campaigned for Massie \u2014 but he did so too late for a primary challenger to file. Boebert is unopposed in her primary and expected to win the general election in a solidly Republican district.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rep.

Both Greene and Massie were bucking Trump on plenty of other things, too. And Mace\u2019s incessant political attention-seeking and often-bizarre behavior might well have alienated primary voters as much as the Epstein saga.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            She\u2019s currently taking just 12% of the vote, and she even finished a distant third in her home area, Charleston County.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But Mace has made clear she thinks the Epstein episode cost her \u2014 including by spurring Trump to endorse Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, who wound up qualifying for the runoff.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            After Trump endorsed Evette late last month, Mace said: \u201cIf sacrificing my values is the price of an endorsement, I will never pay it.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And Mace returned to the theme on Tuesday night, while conceding her loss.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI voted to release the Epstein files and lost some support for that,\u201d she said. \u201cAs a survivor, I chose to stand on principle and stand against the Epstein cover-up. I chose to stand against child rapists.\u201d\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2320\">Postal Service won\u2019t deliver mail ballots for states that don\u2019t hand over voter lists, under plan for Trump directive<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Mace soon added: \u201cAnd apparently, I chose wrong if the goal was winning an election.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The quick exits of most of the Epstein Four are, in a way, pretty remarkable. When the files issue first began percolating, it was in large part <em>because of<\/em> right-wing Trump supporters \u2014 and often Trump-aligned influencers.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The likes of now-FBI Director Kash Patel and his former No. 2, podcaster Dan Bongino, repeatedly promoted the idea that there was a scandal to uncover. Vice President JD Vance also promoted such theories.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But as 2025 wore on, it became clear Trump \u2014 who was once close with Epstein and whose name wound up appearing frequently in the files \u2014 was not at all keen on the transparency that his administration had promised. The New York Times on Wednesday published a detailed account from reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan recounting how the administration struggled to reconcile Trump\u2019s reluctance with the base\u2019s conspiratorial fervor. (Trump has long denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein or any allegation of sexual misconduct.)\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But as time wore on, the base hued closer to Trump\u2019s nothing-to-see-here posture. MAGA voters didn\u2019t fully adopt that posture, mind you. But they did seem to stop caring so much about the whole thing.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And despite the government\u2019s slow disclosures and Trump\u2019s efforts to prevent them, base voters increasingly signaled in polls that they were satisfied with the administration\u2019s handling of the situation.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            That doesn\u2019t mean voters went to the polls in South Carolina and Kentucky just to punish Mace and Massie for forcing the disclosure of the files. But their actions surely put a target on their backs.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And their defeat \u2014 like that of the impeachment supporters, the Indiana state senators who bucked Trump on redistricting and Texas Sen. John Cornyn \u2014 sends a message: Republicans buck Trump at the peril of their career. The easiest course for them is often to just do what the president wants.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And that apparently even includes when Republicans are following through on something the base was once quite keen on.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2313\">Bill Gates to face congressional investigators about ties to Jeffrey Epstein<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With GOP Rep.
