South Carolina Senate rejects Trump’s push to redraw congressional map for midterm elections
from KYW Newsradio Audio On-Demand
The South Carolina Senate has rejected President Donald Trump’s push to redraw the state’s congressional districts in hopes Republicans could gain an extra seat. The proposal passed the South Carolina House last week. But, senators rejected the effort on Tuesday -- the same day early in-person voting got underway for the state's June 9 primaries. Some senators said it was simply too late to make a change. Others worried the move could backfire and get an extra Democrat elected to the U.S. House. The proposal would have scheduled a special primary in August for the new congressional map. (Photo by Sean Rayford/Getty Images)
