In a defiant stand immediately, 5 South Carolina Republican state senators joined Democrats to reject the redistricting proposal, refusing to associate with President Trump’s gerrymandering scheme. Former DNC chair Jamie Harrison praised Republican Senate Majority Leader Shane Massey for exhibiting “deep moral values” and refusing to be “pushed around,” arguing the resolution was about doing what is true somewhat than partisan politics.
