Former President Donald Trump on Monday encouraged South Carolina Republicans to be “bold” and “courageous” ahead of a vote on redistricting, according to a social media post.
Trump cited Tennessee Republicans’ approval of a new map last week, which he said threatens to unseat the state’s only House Democrat. He urged South Carolina Republicans to follow suit.
“South Carolina Republicans: BE BOLD AND COURAGEOUS, just like the Republicans of the Great State of Tennessee were last week!” he wrote.
The redistricting process in South Carolina is ongoing, with lawmakers set to vote on new district maps that could impact the state’s political landscape. No further details on the upcoming vote were provided.
