South Carolina Redistricting
from The Weekend · host Jackie Alemany, Jonathan Capehart, Eugene Daniels, Rep. Joe Cunningham, Adam Serwer, Heather Long, Charles Booker
May 23, 2026, 8 AM; Clyburn is South Carolina’s only Black member of the U.S. House and one of the most influential voices in congress and the Democratic party, and this move would further dilute Black voting power in the state for potentially decades. The new map still has to get through the State Senate, which yesterday failed to secure enough votes to finalize it before early voting begins Tuesday in South Carolina’s primary election. Some Republicans don't seem to be totally on board with five of them joining Democrats in opposing a rushed process. Fmr. Rep. Joe Cunningham and Adam Serwer join The Weekend to discuss the latest redistricting efforts by the GOP in that state.
