"Redistricting Ruckus: South Carolina Governor Sets Sights on Congressional Map Overhaul South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster is reportedly considering a special session of the state legislature to push through a contentious congressional map that could potentially put Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn's seat at risk. The move is seen as a bold attempt by McMaster to assert his influence over the state's Republican-dominated legislature, which has been at odds with the governor's own party on several high-profile issues. Clyburn, a powerful Democrat and key ally of President Biden, has long been a thorn in the side of South Carolina Republicans, and a redistricting plan that threatens his seat could have significant implications for the state's electoral landscape. As the special session looms, observers are bracing for a contentious battle over the future of South Carolina's congressional map."
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is rumored to be eyeing a special session to pressure his fellow Republicans in the state legislature to adopt a congressional map that would endanger Rep. Jim Clyburn's (D-SC) seat.
