The South Carolina Senate on Saturday advanced a 2026 redistricting map that eliminates its racially gerrymandered seat.
Seven RINOs voted no: Bennett, Campsen, Davis, Hembree, Massey, Rankin and Zell.
Cloture has been invoked by a 26-18 vote.
Nos: Allen, Bennett, Campsen, Davis, Devine, Graham, Hembree, Hutto, Jackson, Massey, Matthews, Ott, Rankin, Sabb, Sutton, Tedder, Walker, Zell.
Adams, an early holdout, votes ‘aye’ in the deciding vote. Several members were absent. https://t.co/9CweJUAcnH

The newly-drawn Congressional map eliminates Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn’s district.
South Carolina Senators voted to invoke cloture on Saturday, just one day after they killed a motion to expedite the redistricting map.
Early voting begins on May 26.
President Trump last week said he was watching South Carolina closely:
The South Carolina State Senate has a big vote tomorrow on Redistricting.
I’m watching closely, along with all Republicans across the Country who are counting on their Elected Leaders to use every Legal and Constitutional authority they have to stop the Radical Left Democrats from destroying our Country, including leveling the playing field against their decades of egregious Gerrymandering and Census Rigging.
South Carolina Republicans: BE BOLD AND COURAGEOUS, just like the Republicans of the Great State of Tennessee were last week! Move the U.S. House Primaries to August, leave the rest on the same schedule. Everything will be fine. GET IT DONE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Earlier this month, several RINO Indiana State Senators lost their primary elections – and Trump-endorsed candidates swept Indiana after Trump sought revenge.
Trump vowed to primary the Indiana RINOs, and he followed through with his threat.
RiNO Senator Bill Cassidy, earlier this month, also lost his primary.
In a stunning development, GOP Rep. Thomas Massie lost his primary to Trump-endorsed Ed Gallrein earlier this week amid Trump’s RINO revenge tour.
