Redistricting debate shifts to South Carolina as Republicans seek clean sweep of US House seats
The redistricting debate in South Carolina is intensifying as lawmakers prepare to discuss new congressional maps. Republicans aim to create a map that could lead to a clean sweep of U.S. House seats, particularly targeting districts held by Democrats. The discussions come in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that has weakened protections for minority districts, raising concerns about potential voter disenfranchisement.

- ▪U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, the only Democrat in South Carolina's congressional delegation, plans to run regardless of district changes.
- ▪Republican leaders are pushing for a map that could result in a 7-0 Republican majority in the state's House representation.
