I’m not quite sure how I feel about this.

Republican Representative Nancy Mace showed up at the Capitol today wearing pajamas.

Take a look:

NEW: Rep. Nancy Mace shows up to vote for the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ wearing pajamas.

“Come hell or high water, we were showing up to vote on the Big, Beautiful Bill today.”

Mace wanted to make sure everyone saw her pajamas during her journey to DC from South Carolina.

What a clown.

The Daily Mail had these details to report on Mace’s outfit:

House lawmakers have rushed back to Washington to vote on President Donald Trump’s sweeping domestic agenda taking planes, trains and even a party bus to make it in time.

The Senate passed the president’s marquee legislative package dubbed the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ on Tuesday setting up the House for a last-second vote on the multi-trillion-dollar tax and spending package before Independence Day on Friday.

Trump has repeatedly prodded Congress to pass the bill before then so he can have a signing ceremony at the White House on the federal holiday, but as bad weather snarled Washington’s airports, many had their flights canceled.

Refusing to let the inclement weather derail her travel plans, Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., decided to ride in style for the overnight drive from her district to D.C.
Mace, 47, and her staff posted videos of their half-day journey aboard a decked-out sprinter van with LED lights and plush leather seats.

The clips of the impromptu road trip show Mace donning pink heart pajamas while traveling from the Palmetto State to Capitol Hill with her team and her dog named Liberty.
‘I’m here to save my country, so come hell or high water, I was gonna get here on time,’ she told the Daily Mail just after her arrival.

‘We got here five minutes before the first vote.

Here’s how social media reacted:

 

Not all Republicans are eager to vote on the Big Beautiful Bill as Mace is.

CBS News reported there are several holdouts:

House Republican leaders are scrambling to shore up support for President Trump’s massive domestic policy bill amid pushback to the Senate’s changes, as the GOP seeks to approve the final version of the legislation ahead of a July 4 deadline to get the bill to the president’s desk.
As the House met Wednesday to take up the bill, which squeaked through the Senate a day earlier, it remained unclear if Republicans have enough support to get it over the finish line.

The House needs to take a key procedural vote before it can move toward final passage, but it’s not clear when that vote will take place or if it will pass. Lawmakers remained stuck on a separate vote for over two hours Wednesday afternoon.

Several members on both sides of the aisle had their flights canceled or delayed by bad weather as they raced back to Washington for the vote. All the Democrats appeared to be on hand for proceedings by Wednesday afternoon. Republicans can only afford three defections if all members are present and voting.

House GOP leaders are aiming to forge ahead quickly on the signature legislation of Mr. Trump’s second-term agenda, which includes ramped-up spending for border security, defense and energy production and extends trillions of dollars in tax cuts, partially offset by substantial cuts to health care and nutrition programs.

But some House Republicans, who voted to pass an earlier version of the bill in May, are unhappy with the Senate’s changes.

Potential holdouts, including moderates and members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, were meeting with Mr. Trump on Wednesday as the White House puts pressure on House Republicans to get the bill across the finish line. But GOP Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland, the chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, told reporters that he expected the procedural vote to fail in the afternoon.

The House Rules Committee advanced the Senate’s changes to the bill overnight, setting up the action on the floor. GOP Reps. Ralph Norman of South Carolina and Chip Roy of Texas joined Democrats on the panel to oppose the rule. Both are among the group of hardliners who are likely to oppose the procedural vote in the full House.

“What the Senate did is unconscionable,” Norman said. “I’ll vote against it here and I’ll vote against it on the floor until we get it right.”
