Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) argued that electing Donald Trump — the man largely responsible for stripping federal abortion rights from women — was "the best thing we can do" for "female empowerment."
During an interview on Tuesday, Real America's Voice host Charlie Kirk asked Mace how Trump would attract women voters after Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
"She's going to try to win back suburban voters and run strictly on female empowerment," Kirk explained. "How do you think we should counter that or at least preempt what is going to be a nasty identity politic-driven campaign season?"
"Getting behind Donald Trump is the best thing that we can do," Mace replied. "He is the guy that has preempted all of these issues concerning women."
The lawmaker suggested Trump had "preempted" attacks on his abortion record by adding IVF and contraception access to the Republican platform.
"He's the one that personally called me and asked me to get on stage at the convention," she recalled. "And I'm a suburban mom. I'm a single mom."
"And that's the kind of leader our nation needs because Kamala Harris is never going to tell you her position on abortion," Mace added. "Donald Trump is willing to have this conversation. He supports women.

"He had many women in his cabinet and in his administration. He can run on women's issues."
As president, Trump appointed three Supreme Court justices who were vital to reversing Roe v. Wade, which protected abortion rights at the federal level.
"After 50 years of failure, with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe v. Wade, much to the 'shock' of everyone," the former president bragged earlier this year.
