Failed Redistricting: South Carolina Senate Now Defying Trump on Maps

The failure to pass the bill has raised questions about the future of redistricting efforts in the state.
- ▪The South Carolina Senate voted against a redistricting measure, ending the effort for now.
- ▪Several Republicans joined Democrats in opposing the bill, defying President Trump's request.
- ▪The House had previously approved the map, aiming for implementation before the midterm elections.
