South Carolina House passes GOP-favored congressional redistricting map
The South Carolina House of Representatives voted 74-37 to approve a new congressional redistricting plan that would reshape the state's Democratic-held district to favor Republicans, with four GOP members voting against it. The bill, urged by President Donald Trump, aims to help Republicans win an additional seat in the November midterm elections. The proposal now moves to the state Senate, where passage is uncertain due to GOP concerns about potential backlash.
