The South Carolina state Senate blocked a Trump-backed plan to redraw the state's seven congressional districts on May 26, 2026, when 12 Republican senators joined all 12 Democrats to deny the 26 votes needed for cloture. The failed redistricting effort, which would have dismantled the state's only majority-Black congressional district represented by Democrat Jim Clyburn, marks the second time a GOP-controlled state legislature has rejected Trump's national mid-decade redistricting campaign, following Indiana's rebellion in December 2025.
