South Carolina Senate Blocks Attack on Clyburn’s Majority-Black Districte House

In a significant win for Black political representation, the South Carolina State Senate voted Tuesday to reject a controversial congressional redistricting map backed by the Trump administration. The proposed map would have dismantled the state’s only majority-Black congressional district — the seat held by veteran Democratic Congressman James Clyburn. The effort failed partly on timing: with early voting already underway for the state’s June primary, several key Republicans broke ranks and argued it was too late to safely redraw the boundaries. The vote is a reminder of how fragile, and how worth fighting for Black electoral power remains.
