Key takeaways
- South Carolina Republicans: BE BOLD AND COURAGEOUS, just like the Republicans of the Great State of Tennessee were last week!
- The measure must clear the lower chamber and the state Senate, where lawmakers have not yet determined whether it will consider redistricting, amid a ticking timeline as the regular session ends on May 14.
- If South Carolina lawmakers approve new maps, the congressional primaries would be moved from June 9 to Aug. 11.
Why this matters: political developments that affect policy direction and public trust.
