South Carolina Senate blocks redistricting plan in blow to Trump
“I can no longer support the passage of this bill for one simple reason: South Carolina citizens are going to the polls today,” Republican state Sen. “Neither my conscience nor common sense will allow me to stop an election that has already begun.” A motion to end debate on the topic failed in the state’s upper chamber, scrambling a push that could have given Republicans total control of the seven-member congressional delegation. The vote is a blow to President Trump and other national Republicans who have called on red states across the country to consider redistricting as the party seeks to minimize its losses and notch new pickup opportunities ahead of November’s elections.
