Republican Daniel Rickenmann is the new mayor of Columbia, South Carolina.
His victory in the heart of deep blue Richland County comes just months after President Joe Biden won the city with 71% of the vote. Rickenmann’s victory also comes after his opponent was endorsed by multiple major-league Democrats, including even former President Barack Obama.
