South Carolina House backs congressional map favoring GOP but bill faces a more skeptical Senate
The plan would shift the state’s only Democratic-held U.S. House seat and could help Republicans win an additional seat, lawmakers said.
- On Tuesday, the South Carolina House approved a congressional redistricting plan aimed at securing all seven seats for the GOP, sending the bill to the Senate.
- President Donald Trump urged the redistricting plan to reshape the state's only Democratic-held U.S. House district as part of a broader effort to retain the party's slim House majority.
- Democratic state Rep. JA Moore said, "What you all are doing is wrong," while the NAACP called for a boycott of public university athletic programs in states attempting to weaken Black voting representation.
- If enacted, the legislation would delay U.S. House primaries until Aug and cost at least $3 million for a new statewide election; four Republicans voted against the bill before its final Senate vote.
- Other Southern states are rushing to redraw districts following a recent Supreme Court decision, though some Republicans worry the redistricting could backfire and allow Democrats to gain seats.
