President Donald Trump issued an ominous threat to state Senators in South Carolina on the eve of a key redistricting vote.
On Tuesday, South Carolina lawmakers are scheduled to vote on a new election map that could eliminate the seat held by Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) as part of the GOP’s effort to thwart Democratic gains during the 2026 midterms. Trump posted on Truth Social that he will be “watching closely” as Senators vote, hoping to influence the outcome of the process.
“The South Carolina State Senate has a big vote tomorrow on Redistricting,” Trump wrote. “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.”
So far, several red states like Texas, Florida, and Tennessee have either passed or introduced new maps that give Republicans more seats in Congress.
Trump said he hopes the lawmakers in South Carolina will continue the progress.
“South Carolina Republicans: BE BOLD AND COURAGEOUS, just like the Republicans of the Great State of Tennessee were last week!” he added. “Move the U.S. House Primaries to August, leave the rest on the same schedule. Everything will be fine. GET IT DONE!”
