The Republican-led South Carolina Senate on Tuesday voted against a measure to advance a new congressional map, ending the last-minute redistricting effort in the state for now.<\/p>\n

The motion to end debate \u2014 which failed with a vote of 20-24 \u2014 was a surprise rejection of President Donald Trump, who had urged lawmakers to pass a redrawn map that eliminated the state\u2019s single majority-Black district and gave Republicans a chance to win the seat.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The South Carolina House approved the map last week in hopes of putting it into place for this year\u2019s midterm elections. As part of the effort, lawmakers also sought to set another primary election for the affected districts in August. But after early voting began on Tuesday for the previously scheduled June primary, some Republicans changed their mind on the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither my conscience nor my common sense will allow me to stop an election that is already underway,\u201d said Republican state Sen. Richard Cash, a Republican who changed his vote due to timing.<\/p>\n

Republicans signalled their resistance to redistricting earlier this month, refusing to take up a new map proposal as part of its regularly scheduled session. But amid pressure from the White House and national Republicans, Gov. Henry McMaster quickly called lawmakers back for a special session to tackle the issue. <\/p>\n

Republican Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey said earlier this month that trying to draw a new map would be short-sighted.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI believe that our state is stronger with vibrant parties. I think we, as a whole, are stronger when we have a clash of ideas. I think that\u2019s true at the national level. I think it\u2019s true at the state level. We are stronger when we have a clash of ideas and we can discuss those policy goals,\u201d Massey said at the time. \u201cRepublicans are stronger when the Democrat Party is vibrant and viable.\u201d<\/p>\n
