South Carolina Republicans defy Trump again to reject rapid redistricting drive
South Carolina Republicans have rejected a proposal to rapidly redraw congressional districts ahead of the midterm elections, defying Donald Trump's push for the change. The state senate voted 26-18 against the redistricting plan, which aimed to reduce Democratic voter representation in Jim Clyburn's district. This decision comes as early voting has already begun, and some lawmakers expressed concerns about the rushed process and its implications for voters.
