South Carolina Senate Advances GOP Redistricting Trump Wants

“We’re going to throw it away, and we’re going to lose,” he said. “This will blow up in our face.”

“We have signed, sealed, delivered, unassailable congressional districts and we’re about to pass something the most assailable, most egregious because there’s nothing to it. I don’t even know who drew these maps,” he said. The effort comes after the U. S. Supreme Court struck down Louisiana’s congressional map, prompting Republican-led states to revisit district lines.

Supporters of the South Carolina redraw argue the 6th Congressional District, held by Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn, should be reconfigured

They say the current setup unfairly preserves a Democratic stronghold. Opponents counter that South Carolina’s circumstances are entirely different.
