News 4 reached out to Mace’s team for comment and was directed to the congresswoman’s latest post on X, where she said that there is frustration that discharge petitions are “the only way to move things through the House” and that Congress hasn’t codified President Donald Trump’s executive orders besides the one instituting the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. “Not confirmed: That anyone is retiring,” she wrote. “Media catches one tiny piece of an overheard conversation and loses it,” Mace commented.

Mace didn’t exactly hide her frustration with Johnson, writing: ‘I signed a discharge petition to ban stock trading today. Why does something so easy ethically and morally to support, take forcing it down the throats of leadership when it’s just common sense? Members of Congress shouldn’t line their pockets with insider trading.’ However, the Congresswoman reiterated that she wasn’t leaving Congress anytime soon.
