South Carolina's McMaster to call special session to redraw House map

Gov. Henry McMaster (R-SC) plans to call South Carolina lawmakers back to Columbia after a Republican effort to redraw the state’s congressional map collapsed in the state Senate earlier this week, according to multiple reports.

The move would revive an effort backed by President Donald Trump and state GOP leaders to redraw congressional lines in hopes of turning South Carolina’s lone Democratic-held congressional seat Republican before the 2026 midterm elections.
