Redistricting Showdown: South Carolina Senate Republicans backed off President Trump’s push to redraw the state’s congressional map, rejecting a plan to extend the session—after Trump warned lawmakers were “watching closely.” Five GOP senators joined Democrats to block the move, leaving SC’s lone Democratic-held seat in place for now. Courtroom Dominoes: The national fight is still heating up elsewhere: Missouri’s top court upheld a Trump-backed House map, while Louisiana’s Supreme Court fallout and a weakened Voting Rights Act are giving other states cover to redraw. Local Politics, Real Stakes: The same redistricting pressure is spilling into other decisions, including SC GOP efforts to sue over closed primaries and required party registration. Charlotte Infrastructure: In North Carolina, Charlotte City Council voted to rescind support for the I-77 South toll lanes, throwing the $3.2 billion project’s future into doubt. World Watch: Sen. Lindsey Graham said he “doesn’t trust Pakistan” as he questions Islamabad’s role in Iran mediation.
