South Carolina Governor McMaster to Reconvene Lawmakers for Redistricting Amid Trump-Backed Push
South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster is expected to call a special legislative session to address the state's congressional map, aiming to eliminate its only majority-Black district. This move follows a recent Senate rejection of a redistricting proposal supported by President Trump and national Republicans. The proposal failed to secure the necessary two-thirds majority, with five Republicans joining Democrats in opposition. Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey, one of the opposing Republicans, expressed concerns about the rapid pace of the effort and potential electoral repercussions. Despite the setback, pressure from Trump-aligned Republicans persists, with McMaster's intervention providing another opportunity to gerrymander the district map.
