Trump and the White House previously encouraged South Carolina legislative leaders to look at redrawing the state\u2019s congressional districts after leaders said they weren\u2019t interested in the process.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m watching closely, along with all Republicans across the country who are counting on their elected leaders to use every legal and constitutional authority they have to stop the radical left Democrats from destroying our country, including leveling the playing field against their decades of egregious gerrymandering and census rigging,\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Massey spoke extensively against redistricting on the floor Tuesday before the vote, speaking about his conversations with Trump and opposing bowing to pressure from the federal government.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t consider the concerns of South Carolina, there is no one left,\u201d Massey said. \u201cWe are the last lines.

Larry Grooms, R-Berkeley, supported the map and defended it as keeping some communities of interest together. Previously the old 1st Congressional District, before South Carolina had seven congressional districts, had Myrtle Beach and Charleston together.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a good map for those along the coast,\u201d Grooms said. \u201cIt was a good district then, it would be a good district if they were put together again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Grooms pointed out that the procedural vote not to allow a debate on redistricting means there will be no sine die agreement. That would require Gov. Henry McMaster to call back lawmakers to finish work, but he can\u2019t require them to work on any specific issue. However, any issue could come up.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers still have to finalize a spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Massey, who for over a week has argued against redistricting, said the U.S. Supreme Court decision on Louisiana\u2019s congressional maps, which sparked the redistricting push, did not apply to South Carolina. The map was drawn on partisan lines, rather than race, which the U.S. Supreme Court held up in 2024.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Whether the state should redraw its map is a political, rather than constitutional question, Massey said before the vote. He didn\u2019t think the potential for Republicans to lose seats, breaking up \u2018communities of interest,\u2019 the disruption and cost of primary elections and the impact to the state\u2019s influence in the White House made redistricting a worthy risk.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will say, however, that if the Democrats do win control of United States House of Representatives, it will not be because of South Carolina,\u201d Massey said.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Republican lawmakers pushed to redraw the congressional maps to favor Republican candidates in every district, an attempt to oust U.S. Rep.

The vote followed another morning of tense, sometimes rowdy, hearings, where nearly every speaker again opposed redrawing the state\u2019s congressional districts.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Many members of the public spoke against redrawing and were met with claps and cheers from the audience. The meeting concluded with chanting and yells, including \u201cwe having nothing to lose but our chains\u201d and \u201cshame\u201d at members who voted to advance a new congressional map.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>A woman was escorted out of the committee room by multiple security members, yelling expletives at lawmakers on the way out.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>House representatives advanced a bill pushing congressional elections back more than two months. Statewide, local and state House elections would still occur June 9, under the House proposal.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The new primary date for congressional seats would be Aug. 18, with necessary runoffs Sept. 1 under an amendment passed Tuesday. The new date would be effective if the legislature passes a new congressional map.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Running two statewide primaries this summer and meeting federal requirements ahead of the general election in November will create tight deadlines for election officials. State and party officials will have to certify winning primary candidates quickly, and the election agency will only have ten days to prepare and test ballots, said Election Commission executive director Conway Belangia on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Other factors, including challenges to election results in the proposed August primaries, would be a \u201cmonkey wrench into just about everything,\u201d Belangia said.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese timelines are incredibly tight,\u201d Belangia said Tuesday. \u201cState and county resources will be stretched, and we will work to meet these extraordinary demands, especially in the election community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>It will cost the state an additional roughly $2.2 million for the August primary and another $1 million for the runoffs, Belangia said.

Lindsey Graham told reporters Friday. \u201cMake sure that not only you can pick up a seat, you\u2019re not putting other seats at risk, but we\u2019ll know in a few days how this works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>State Rep. Jay Jordan, R-Florence, asked if the districts created the most Republican version of a congressional map possible. Kincaid said taking into consideration other factors, like not splitting counties and compactness, the map had potential to create a seven Republican-represented districts.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I went through and tried to accomplish is a district, a map for South Carolina, that would elect seven Republicans,\u201d Kincaid said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Massey said on the floor Tuesday redrawing the map isn\u2019t a risk worth taking for Republicans trying to gain seats in the U.S. House. South Carolina Republicans could end up losing seats in the U.S. House with a new map, and the effort could impact down-ballot races, including state House elections.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also think that one of the side effects of this is, very candidly, you\u2019re going to motivate Black turnout, and there will be repercussions for that,\u201d Massey said on the floor Tuesday. \u201cThere will be down-ballot repercussions for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Massey also said the map \u201cblows up\u201d the preservation of communities of interest, including representation of York County and connecting Myrtle Beach and Charleston.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Kincaid didn\u2019t take questions from every lawmaker weighing the new maps, saying he had a hard-stop at 10 a.m. The announcement brought an outburst from the audience and visible frustration from Democratic lawmakers on the panel.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would move that we adjourn this meeting until he is available and can give the people of this state the time that they deserve to get, instead of coming on here and logging off at 10 o\u2019clock,\u201d Bamberg said. \u201cHe should be at this podium, not on the computer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Jordan said Kincaid had been available since 9.
