"South Carolina Republicans Defy Trump's Redistricting Call: A Key House Seat at Stake In a move that could have significant implications for the 2024 US midterm elections, Republican state senators in South Carolina have resisted pressure from former President Donald Trump to redraw district lines in a bid to flip a crucial House seat held by prominent Democrat Jim Clyburn. Trump had urged the senators to take action, citing the possibility of gaining a Republican advantage in the heavily Democratic district. However, the senators have reportedly pushed back against the plan, citing concerns about the potential backlash from voters and the potential for electoral challenges. As the nation watches, the fate of Clyburn's seat - and the balance of power in the House - hangs in the balance."


Republican state senators don't face election this year. Trump's urging for them to redistrict to help flip the House seat held by prominent Democrat Jim Clyburn was met with opposition.
