Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

0:24Lacore credits a coalition of Democrats, independents and moderate Republicans with helping her win.
1:19She says incoming military veterans share a mission-focused approach that could support cross-party work.
2:02Her priorities include ending the ongoing war, reconsidering tariffs affecting everyday costs and extending tax relief.
3:14She calls for banning stock trading by elected officials and overturning Citizens United.
4:10Brennan asks about Lacore's removal as Navy Reserve chief by Hegseth.
5:47Responding to Hegseth's recorded remarks, Lacore calls him unqualified and criticizes his military-readiness priorities.

Nancy Lacore credits her South Carolina victory to a coalition that reached beyond Democrats, bringing in independents, moderate Republicans and an endorsement from Mount Pleasant's Republican mayor.

Speaking with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation, the representative-elect describes incoming military veterans as lawmakers with a shared habit: getting the job done. "We just focus on achieving the mission, and I think that's what you're going to see out of this new Congress."

Her own transition carries an unusual distinction. The former Navy Reserve chief, dismissed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in August 2025, will become the highest-ranking female U.S. military officer to serve in Congress. Lacore says she was never given a reason for her firing.

The full interview drew more than 215,000 views in eleven hours, already far beyond the program's usual first-day audience for regular videos.

Brennan's questions move from Lacore's election coalition to what she wants to do with her seat. Lacore names ending the ongoing war, reconsidering tariffs that affect everyday costs and extending tax relief. On ethics, she calls for prohibiting elected officials from trading stocks and overturning Citizens United to reduce money's influence in politics.

The sharpest exchange comes after a recorded clip of Hegseth discussing diversity and military standards. Lacore calls him unqualified and criticizes his priorities on military readiness.

Hegseth's leadership also figures in another fast-starting Face the Nation interview: Republican Rep. French Hill says he wants to hear the debate before deciding whether impeachment or another response is warranted.
